Pros

Worked at SKF Sweden for 9 years, they provide a lot of benefits and take good care of the employees. Even small things like christmas gifts make a good impact on the general work morale. There are quite good possibilities to advance in the company. The pay is one of the best in class and they pride themselves with providing high quality goods to the market. As an employee you have a lot of responsibility to carry out your work and there is little micro management being done from higher ups. Feels a bit like a family owned company more then a large industrial firm.

Cons

The internal bonus goals are set way to high and they are rarely accomplished. Internal advancement is somewhat neglected and often you compete with outsiders for the same job application. Somewhat heavy managed firm and it is not that flexible.

Pros

Great benefits, 8% 401,k match, great health insurance

Cons

They do not pay men and women equal, they pay new hires more, they won't upgrade systems and expect employees to work 12+ hour days for close due to so many system limitations and the "robots" they have to post JEs are the bane of all accountants.... Why we have to wait 2-8 hours for a JE to post is a joke. Their work around is to have someone in another country work even longer hours to post it manually....you are a machine not a person to them.
