Business Outlook

Pros

Good balance between work and private life. Average to good training possibilities. Good working conditions (locations, desk, IT) and average to good benefits.

Lots of politics involved if aiming to a senior/management position. Spending a period in Sweden is almost a must to move forward in the organisation.
