A place of full clueless chaos

Pros

People are generally quite nice. Work life balance is ok. If you thrive in chaos, you’re in your element here!!!

Cons

This company, specifically in Landskrona, doesn’t have the faintest idea of what processes are. Managers may be competent, but definitely not in management. Everything just happens to happen, and it’s the first time every time all the time, so no learning or improvement is necessary. So much time is spent running around or doing things twice, because first time wasn’t learned from. Simple improvements may be considered after half a year, if at all. And the day before external management shows up, production stops to clean everything up so it looks nice. All the buzzwords are in use, but no corresponding action. Time-server local management that cannot distinguish between investment and cost, instead managers (even the MD) spend their time nitpicking details or finding excuses while not letting people take charge and responsibility.

Pros

it was a great place to work but they shut it down in Scotland, funny thing is their other site down south was not making enough money so they shut us down no one seen the logic in this, I had to find other work as I couldn't find anywhere to continue my apprenticeship, no help from the management either to even attempt to find us anywhere that was a poor show from them.

Cons

apart from the poor decision to shut the place it was a good place to work with some great guys,

Pros

Besides month and quarter close, great work/life balance. As long as you openly communicate with your manager, can easily work around appointments or other commitments outside of work during the day without issue.

Cons

Large company, easy to feel like a cog in a machine
