Pros

Free fruit and coffee are nice. Occasional gifts for holidays are much appreciated. Nice colleagues for the most part.

Cons

A lot of empty talk about values at the company. In reality, this company will try to stab you in the back at every opportunity. Trying to claim business expenses from the finance department is like squeezing blood from a rock. There is an implicit demand that you must work weekends and at weird out-of-office hours or else...! Raising a family on the meager pay they provide is almost impossible. There is a pathological focus on cost cutting which has really destroyed morale. Working for the head office in Sweden is probably much better than this.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

* Not micro-managed * Friendly working environment * Competent and well-versed supervisors * Fruitful experience for those who seek the work (It won't always come to you as part of your role is to aid the Maintenance engineer in his work)

Cons

* Lack of a set plan for interns to follow to gain experience (past excel documentation)
