Pros

Fika happens occasionally at work.

Cons

I would not recommend working at this company based on my experience. I faced unprofessional, disrespectful, and at times discriminatory (racist) treatment, which made the work environment toxic and uncomfortable. One of the major issues I encountered was the relocation process. I was not informed or promised a relocation package by my manager, and it was only through colleagues that I learned such a package around 10,000 to 15,000 SEK should have been provided. Despite this, I had to cover significant expenses on my own, including travel and temporary accommodation. After three months, my manager unexpectedly informed me that my contract would be terminated. During this time, I didn’t receive any support, and no effort was made to help me transition or find another position within the company, despite having gone through the interview process initially. The company operates on a "hire and fire" basis, terminating employees before the six-month probation period ends if they don’t secure a permanent position. This creates a constant sense of instability and uncertainty, making it a difficult and stressful environment to work in. They also have a practice of hiring new employees only to terminate them before their contract can move to permanent, which appears to be part of their business model. Additionally, the salary was significantly lower compared to similar roles at other companies, making the position less competitive and discouraging for skilled professionals. Overall, the lack of support, poor communication, failure to honor commitments, discriminatory behavior, and low salary made my experience at this company deeply disappointing.

Pros

Some colleagues can be nice.

Cons

Over the past 2–3 years, management has been making a number of difficult decisions that many employees have found hard to understand or rationalise. The recruiting department, which is considered one of the company’s three key pillars, has seen significant instability, having had approximately five different managers in the last four years. The company unfortunately appears to be facing broader challenges. Following a period of very rapid growth in previous years, the leadership team seems to be struggling to effectively manage the current phase of the business. This has also resulted in increasing turnover at senior levels, with even long-tenured directors choosing to leave the organisation. There also appears to be a growing reliance on employees who are working on visas and may have limited alternative employment options, which creates the impression that the company is partly sustained by this dynamic. At an operational level, management seems to have limited control over team behaviour and workplace standards. Situations have occurred where individuals behave in ways that would normally be considered inappropriate for a professional office environment, while others appear to face little accountability for their questionable actions. At times, the overall atmosphere can feel reminiscent of an episode of The Office — unfortunately without the humour.
