Pros
- Good office location in downtown Stockholm; free fruits, coffee and soda; playing room. - Decent work equipment (Macbook Pro and iPhone, but not the newest models like at other companies ). - Nice, talented coworkers, international environment. - Meaningful product, interesting project (mine at least is). - Really good salary (Volvo Cars is able and willing to pay the price of the best talent, they seduce people from top Swedish tech companies like Spotify, Klarna, King, iZettle). - Perks (pension contribution, annual bonus, discount on cars, etc.)
Cons
- Big organization with some slow processes and in the middle of a reorg at the moment. - The company is "Gothenburg-heavy", most of the decisions are made there, and the Stockholm office lacks some perks they have in Gothenburg (on-site restaurants, gym facilities, etc.) - Stockholm office is too sterile (plain white walls, grey floor carpet, no decoration, no colors). - I miss some perks I had at my previous employers (tech education budget for courses and conferences, massage in the office, language course, gym membership, top-notch computer and phone, fika, Friday beer, hack days, meetups, swag, etc.)
