Pros

Good work life balance and company is going through a positive major transition on the back of recent years of poor selling and stock build up. Colleagues are nice and team players. Good role with good global mobility; many have moved on to similar roles and management in other parts of the organization globally. Nice to have employee discount at group brands.

Cons

Pay is low and uncompetitive for the role and experience when compared to the Swedish or Global market. Salary increases also do not do enough to differentiate high and low performers, leading to confusing impression that it doesn't really pay to work hard and perform. Not diverse at all in the head office, causing integration issues and high leaving rate for internationals who do not speak fluent Swedish.

Pros

Benefits even for part-timers is a huge win! Sick leave, vacation, and community days. Nice management and really friendly coworkers. Decent employee discount. Diverse and welcoming environment.

Cons

Very stressful work environment considering the low pay. Poorly managed and operated. They clearly try to run lean and do as much work with as few people as possible. Very unprofessional overall and a lot of greenwashing.
