Pros

1. Domain Knowledge - A clear focus on finding the best solutions for the Volvo Group to ensure competiteveness. 2. Continous improvement of ways of working and individual skillset (both soft-, technical- and domain/business knowledge).

Cons

1. Too much focus on cost/hour and relocating development to low cost countries wich has a long journey in aligning and understanding the core business of Volvo Group. 2. When sourcing from low cost countries there is a high focus on finding the cheepest ones which brings down the overall qualitiy of people hired from those contries.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Great team of colleagues. Employee who are focused on ensuring their best. Excellent collaboration between teams. Colleagues who will look past the negative culture and continue to do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture & HR team who are clueless about global teams and work strategies. Focus on how many days and hours are spent in the office, rather than quality of work delivered. "You are being tracked by HR" has become the new way of life with the new culture. Total lack of communication after announcing job cuts are coming, due to awful truck sales and loss of market share in USA. Heavily bloated VP structure.
