Pros

Work life balance is still very good

Cons

Currently there is an ongoing offshoring movement, and the location strategy (office mandated) is becoming stricter. The growth opportunities for an IC in Sweden may not be the best the coming 1-3 years.

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.
