Pros

Work life balance is still very good

Cons

Currently there is an ongoing offshoring movement, and the location strategy (office mandated) is becoming stricter. The growth opportunities for an IC in Sweden may not be the best the coming 1-3 years.

Pros

There are some great, inspiring, and passionate people who work there, but none of them are in leadership positions.

Cons

Leaders aren't held accountable for KPIs or poor behavior. Decisions are made by forum/committee/council, so there is no clear ownership or guidance. The Service Office/HQ leaders look down on the store and fulfillment center teams, making decisions based on assumptions rather than taking time to understand the reality on the ground.
