Pros

IKEA is a great place to work, the social environment is nice and everyone is outgoing. Management is understanding and always listening for new ideas from coworkers.

Cons

The downside to IKEA is some upper management lets their position go to their heads. They are still nice but don't expect them to bend over backwards for a "regular" coworker. As far as promotions, they are a "who you know, not what you know" kind of company.

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.
