Pros

Good employee benefits - free recreational areas, free hours of for hospital visits, liberal flex time rules and awesome Swedish parental leave. Good working climate and company culture. Nice, (mostly) competent colleagues. Access to Europe's second largest photo studio. Decent resources.

Cons

Located in Älmhult, a miniscule and mostly dead piece of cityscape with long commuting hours to the nearest acceptably sized human dwelling. Hits hard on life balance if not surrendering to living in Älmhult. No real prospect of high salary while working at the same spot as yesterday.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
