Pros

Company with social responsibility and extraordinary efforts for sustainability. IKEA pays managers very well, amazing benefits. Good work-life balance. Perfect fit for self-starters. Culture very open, flat organization.

Cons

High expectations from hourly coworkers, and low pay. Training is almost non-existent. Company has great intentions but can't seem to execute for training. IKEA used to have a super friendly, casual culture but has become much more corporate, top-down over the years. Management spends a lot of time in meeting rooms as opposed to being involved with their people.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
