      Some Good Colleagues - Bad German Management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good colleagues across the world.

      Cons

      However if you have a German manager then it is pretty bad and he will do all he can to get rid of you. Glad I had HR on my side to help before I left the company. Wanted to move into another group but was not even considered even though I had other backup from other managers and team leaders. Some employees left the servcie when they knew he would become our Manager.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent total reward package Good work-life balance and family-friendliness Very friendly atmosphere, helpful and professional colleagues Strong corporate culture and values Strong focus on sustainability Culture of trust, meaning lots of own responsibilities

      Cons

      Slow in decision making - a bit too risk averse Consensus culture is very strong in Sweden - again impeding decision making Limited professional development within the company Could focus more on innovation
