Pros

- Possibility to work remotely during the pandemic. - Very skillfull international teams and program managers. - Great posibilities to learn AWS. - Ownership culture is strongly supported. - Collaboration with universities and academic institutions. - Access to latest technological developments in MLOps and ML.

Cons

- Worst salary conditions for data related jobs in Sweden (benchmarked against +10 offers). - Completely lack of understanding of data/ai related jobs profiles and responsabilities by local management. - Local project managers lack completely technical skills and they are not willing to learn. - The lack of understanding of local management and project management resources created an environment where technical people need to do 2-3 jobs at the same time. - No logical hiring strategy (locally), because they cannot afford good people due to low salaries they end up hiring people whose skillset is below the minimum (there are exceptions). - Nepotism is extremely high. People often get a job because they are the son/nephew/grandchild of someone or because the hiring manager is a friend of the family.

Pros

Flexible hours for work life balance if you have the right manager.

Cons

The merit review process is deeply flawed. If your manager is based outside the US, expect little to no meaningful raise, and HR provides no oversight or accountability to fix it. Speaking of HR, don’t count on them to resolve workplace issues; there are virtually no checks and balances in place. Gender diversity is a serious concern, with women making up less than 35% of the company and even fewer in leadership. Sexist comments go largely unaddressed. Decision-making at every level moves at a glacial pace, creating constant bottlenecks that make it hard to get anything done. Leadership frequently makes promises to employees that never materialize, which has taken a significant toll on morale and trust over time.
