Pros
Full of smart, personable people. There’s a huge amount of autonomy and self-management for teams and individuals. I don’t know whether this is typical for Swedish companies, but it’s unlike any other company I’ve worked for in the US. You’re working for a household name with a great product. Pay is good and benefits are excellent.
Cons
The autonomy means that sometimes there’s duplication and sometimes there’s cases of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Most of the time everything works well, but it’s not always clear how! I feel some of my American co-workers find the degree of self-management to be disconcerting. This is not a top-down company and not all can handle that. The company is also very dedicated to its values, and takes diversity and inclusion very seriously. If you don’t like the sound of that, don’t apply to work here: you won’t fit in.
