Pros

There's give a take with IKEA (well there used to be), if you work hard & are committed, they look after you. Subsidised food, Co-Worker discount, free uniform, a plethora of training opportunities and if you're ambitious, you can go far, globally. Strong values.

Cons

Can also be a pro, but they work & push you HARD! It's a strong culture and you either fit in, or you don't. It was bureaucratic & stressful.

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.
