Pros
You get really interesting and diverse tasks. Management shows great confidence in their employees and it is pretty much upp to the employee to take as much responsibility as you see fit. There is an ambience of success and self confidence at Scania. It is easy to be proud of the products that we develop. It is easy to communicate across the organisation. Management is supportive of personal development. A lot of resources are put into employee development, there is a whole separate organisation for education and Scania pays for truck driving licenses. Scania has a pretty good facility for sport activities, free for employees and next to free for next of kin.
Cons
Location, location, location! Södertälje is one of the most dull places I have been to. Commute to Stockholm is slow and time consuming considering that the distance is fairly small. Allthough it may be good for Scania as a company that research and development is concentrated to Södertälje it also means that the posibilities for postings outside of Sweden are slim at best. The salaries can hardly be described as the highest in the field.
