Pros

Laid back culture, they never let go people even if people don't perform at all.

Cons

People who have no experience in the field are heading departments with no vision and making decisions that are harmful for the company. Politics rules in Volvo, you don't need any skills as long as you can butter up your manager. Since the manager themself doesn't have any knowledge, background or experience in the field they'll let you do anything you want with unlimited budget bringing Volvo in a sorry state. If they can revamp their americas management team by getting more technical people who can create right strategies, they can go far. Breaks my heart to see a company with so much potential falling behind due to lack of right talent.
