Pros

Nothing as I saw. Very average hikes.

Cons

Teams are too political, colleagues are not good to work with. Unethical organization.People get involved in unethical activities for better opportunities, which ultimately doesnt work for them. Volvo culture - Which doesnt make sense! Pathetic middle level management involving the team for dirty politics.Beaware of them! 0 growth opportunities.Good salary growth is impossible. Reorg once in 3 yrs.They give some very fancy names to fire people. Gr8 regional politics, political games being played. Fake reviews been added in glassdoor.Beaware.The earlier rating was 3.2 with horrible comments which suits the firm! Atleast 25 people leaving in 6 months from a project. Most of the people who join leave in 6 to 8 months due to politics. The company works mainly on target based culture where the targets are their own employees.Middle level management people somehow manage to save themselves.If you dont mind playing dirty games day in and day out then you can try this firm. No focus on technology and less focus on work!

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Great team of colleagues. Employee who are focused on ensuring their best. Excellent collaboration between teams. Colleagues who will look past the negative culture and continue to do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture & HR team who are clueless about global teams and work strategies. Focus on how many days and hours are spent in the office, rather than quality of work delivered. "You are being tracked by HR" has become the new way of life with the new culture. Total lack of communication after announcing job cuts are coming, due to awful truck sales and loss of market share in USA. Heavily bloated VP structure.
