Pros

Volvo hires great people, the management shows a respect for knowing that good employees are the heart and blood of the company. Benefits and pay are very good compared to other employers. Excellent earned time off policy.

Cons

Long term plans are almost non-existent. Direct managers change yearly but the message stays clear, nothing will improve. For all the talk of transparency its obvious if you stay longer then a few years there isn't any path for employees to grow without hopping around the business units or leaving the company.

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.
