Pros

Excellent benefits, professional environment, very good average pay, most people are great to work with.

Cons

Swedish Company, controlled and micro managed by Sweds, Upper level management advancement/promotion is difficult as an american citizen (most upper lever positions are Swedes or non-USA employees. Too many reorganizations and placing incompetent managers as head of a department. They limit upper level promoting from within. Extremely political and stressful environments. Anyone over 55 years is an endangered species.
