Pros

Great place to work, good salary, great colleagues. Senior management actually cares about their employees. Expanding company that is secure and exciting

Cons

Just the weekends and the long retail hours but that's normal everywhere. And only one store in Sydney so not enough career progress.

IKEA IT

Pros

Good start to build up your CV. Fun and large project to drive. In the edge of new things and growing stable company. Perfect for people to learn processes and tools but maybe not the best place to be when you are senior and would like to be able to have more control.

Cons

More and more outsourcing to India. Complex solutions with very long lead time to give live. People are lazy and IKEA IT is a consultans paradise, resources should be more utiliazed. I strongly believe that people are more happy when they have things to do. Stress in general at IKEA IT is not based on the work load. There are some key players that do a lot and maybe to much. I think it is fare that mgnt but some expectations on people working at IKEA IT.
