Pros

Amazing 401k. Lots of upward mobility. Benefits are good and the company overall is very stable. Everyone is elegible for yearly bonus.

Cons

Owned and managed in Sweden, distance can be an issue sometimes. Local management is great though. The pros definitely outweigh the cons

Business Outlook

Pros

good starting vacation, 401k, no expected OT for salary, opportunity to travel

Cons

Good luck making an impact. Innovation is punished. Keep your head down. Don't speak up. The management layer accepts no input of any kind from anyone. The place is terminally over-managed but there are no leaders. There are 15+ management positions overseeing only ~110 employees. That level of overhead is not sustainable. Production volume is being sent overseas.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture, global presence and support, good communication

Cons

Too many organisational changes (almost every year) which prevents stability, repeat cycle of centralized to de-centralized models, business continuously complaining over the years that head office doesn't understand the business outside Sweden, "Global" job opportunities encouraged / based in Sweden limiting options for employees outside
