Polestar Performance Reviews

A toxic work environment is driven by management Very old school processes and ways of working Looks like a good and modern company in the media but don't actually live up to their ideologies and standards

The company culture is completely lacking and unclear. Some departments are modern, fun, with benefits and agile work structures, and others are a copy-paste of Volvo Cars (including the employees). Some teams are remote-friendly while other require full-time office work. The differences also results in silos and a hierarchical structure of very strong top-down decision making which is not common for a Swedish company Some colleagues are really looking to make a change whereas others are relient on work functions they've done for the last 30 years and are not interested in a change. And there seems to be no feedback process in place. On top of that, I've never been at a workplace with so little employees' benefits. There seems to not be a budget for anything, not even during planned team workshops, so let alone for holiday celebrations or skill building programmes. I think HR should start focusing on what kind of company Polestar aims to be and set a clear direction. Otherwise, you might as well work for Volvo and get a higher salary.
