Pros

Pay as an intern is well above other employers in the Dallas area ($16+/hr). Heavily hire out of the internship program, so a job offer is almost guaranteed. My direct managers are very invested in developing their interns, and giving them work they are interested in, while aiding their careers. They are also competent in their fields (Finance & Accounting). Overall culture is one that encourages sharing and learning.

Cons

Swedish culture. The company is structured very strangely, and it takes a few months to acclimated. For upper management, they prefer to bring in people from Sweden and other areas of the world. If you are seeking upward growth, and don't want to spend 2 years in Sweden to be indoctrinated, move on to the next company. Working in Corporate Finance is difficult because you must adhere to the Swedish close calendar, which means that you will be working through weekends and most holidays. Other areas don't have to deal with this though.

Pros

learn the business and move on to bigger and better things. A good university. The company has good processes that have been developed over its 130 year history.

Cons

Glass ceiling, a Swedish company after all.

Pros

Benefits and Travel. Lots of technical challenges, and lots of responsibility.

Cons

Very bureaucratic. Lots of silo-ing of people, and very lethargic culture. Swedish people take long vacations, and avoid conflict or debate. There's an overwhelming sense that it's too hard to change things. Internal billing between groups and departments can be a hindrance to getting things done.
