      poor leadership - good salary

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      the salary is rather good compared to what is generally paid for this job, colleagues and managers are very friendly, international environment

      Cons

      due to a very flat organization there are only little carreer chances, little acknowledgment for good performance, leadership is very poor and the same applies to HR, performance reviews are rather based on individual perception than achievements which can be measured (e.g. no key performance indicators)

      Great stable company, horrible culture and managemet

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The company owns a lot of forrest and has a long term comitted owner,

      Cons

      The managment culture is really bad. In at least one of the production sites managment by fear is the prefered method of some of the big bosses and they let them keep doing it. At the Paper head office you are promoted if you are a yes-sayer and agree to everthing that the CEO says. Master Supession techniques, "härskartekniker" in Swedish is used everywhere and as a regular worker you get no information about what is happeing or what the future plan is. Many are working so hard, but get no recongition, and some departments just do busywork and paly office all day. I was really surprised to see that they won a prize for being a grate employer, maybe that wast true ten years ago, but not now.
