Pros

Strong humanistic values, good opportunities to develop within different units in different countries. Friendly, relaxed environment encouraging diversity and where you can be yourself. Possible to change field within the same company, if capability and motivation are high.

Cons

Not highly paid compared to other companies for similar positions. Not enough training opportunities. Law compensation & benefits package for partners of Ikea expats, while living abroad.

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.
