Pros

Free breakfast, catered lunch on Fridays, Occasional trips to the Stockholm office. Overall a great place to work,

Cons

You are surrounded by superstars, so if you're looking to evolve in your role, get a raise, promotion or even switch teams, you have to stand out and have the right relationships with certain individuals.

Pros

-Culture -Best in the market -Great openness -Development of professionals -Opportunities for internal promotion

Cons

-Salaries in Stockholm are almost non-competitive -Politics -Middle management lives off developers and other workers by doing ppts, communicating and shielding themselves into others. -Tons of managers get hired, immediately hire someone else to do their job, they are never responsible. -Top management are top notch.

Pros

Great culture, some good people are here, but leaving really fast nowadays. Average salary and benefits. Sometimes music bands are visiting the office.

Cons

No visible end to non-satisfying work. No support from other squads and people just don't give a sh*t because it's "not their business". Discussions for discussions. Meetings for meetings. Teams and management are shuffling all the time without any consistency.
