Living in Sweden (Parental leave)

Cons

Living in Sweden (all the rest) High taxes and: All managers are young and have little inexperience. Is more about spending European money than to achieve a purpose. Company do not listen to the needs of the employees. totaly obscure management and inequality on salaries.

Pros

* Exciting Big Science Project * Potential to have an impact on humanity

Cons

* Many parts of ESS are managed by subject matter expert with little to no understanding of management * Neutron physics is a white, male dominated area with a lot of inbreed, being "one of the boys" carries much more weight than your actual competencies when it comes to career and promotions

Pros

-Nice Office -campus -workshops -people -interesting tasks -great project

Cons

-Management is inconsistent and inherited Leadership roles have made managers that’s excellent physicists in charge of people - not a good match. -The project is interesting by nature but Management is relaying on self motivated employees to carry them to the finish line without any career development or pay increase along the way. - An employee can not impact their work day, Week or Month. You need to like what you have or change company. -Conservative leadership and women is greatly under represented.
