Pros

Continuous growth, forward thinking, Global presence, respected brand, many positions lead to a lot of internal job placement, so if you can get in... it's because you are good!

Cons

Like most other companies; there's good eggs and bad. (Just work to please who makes decisions to promote you and be a likable strong character.)

Pros

- Great, enthusiastic and competent people all around - Fantastic work-life-balance. It is all gone now - superbly international - easy going mostly Swedish senior management

Cons

- After 2009 there was considerable underemployment - Many SE employees are still spoilt from the record-profit, partying times. Little cost awareness, even after the company was burning cash dreadily. On the other hand cost cutting at the wrong place - Little attention to competition - Lack of credibility from Senior Management - Hiring people from distant countries and after 2 months the office closure was announced
