Pros

Good work life balance. Nothing else.

Cons

The previous management was good. But when organization changed the management took over is worst lot I ever have seen. If you are skillful, enthusiastic and adept careerist the you will be simply murdered here. In different project, the external contractor are the king here and they actually intentionally try to ruin the career of volvo people. As they don't have any work their only intention is to create problems for volvo and making them suffer. The most surprising fact is managent is also behave spinelessly as if they are ruled by these people and continuously go against their own people. This may be the only product company where contractors have upper hand and they create so much problem to the company. Many of volvo people faced the same issue but management is unmoved. This company talks so much about culture and all but actually is very low in culture.

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

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.
