Vantaggi

Many nice, smart and ambitious colleges that are in the same position - too smart for this company.

Svantaggi

Possibly one of the least diverse companies I've ever worked at. This in combination with that Sandvik har business and offices worldwide and has a unique possibility to support and invest in diversity and inclusion. Astonishing how many white middle-aged underachieving males a company of this size can find to throw high salaries and VP titles on. Despite high demands and elaborate tests when recruiting, no-one is in general promoted internally (except of course some random white males, despite how good or bad they actually are). New managers are always found externally. The ridiculous part is that management is not that intelligent and not really too business minded so anything that need to be explained to a superior must be done in simple words and with pictures because otherwise they don't understand. I guess that a smart person with another ethnic background or a woman is scary for people who only want to hear what they want to hear and not what they need to hear.

Vantaggi

Work–life balance is actually respected. Most managers honor boundaries, don’t expect late-night firefighting as the norm, and are fine with you taking time off when you need it. Solid parental leave. The parental leave policy is extremely generous compared to a lot of places in the industry, and leadership is generally supportive of people actually using it. Interesting, challenging work. Plenty of chances to solve real problems, not just busywork. If you’re proactive, you can own projects and grow your skill set. Good benefits package. Healthcare, 401(k), and time off are competitive, and HR does a decent job of making the options clear. Smart coworkers who care. A lot of sharp people who genuinely want to do the right thing for customers and the business, which makes collaboration worthwhile when it works.

Svantaggi

Communication needs improvement. Priorities and decisions don’t always flow clearly from leadership to the teams doing the work, which leads to confusion and rework. Too many silos. Teams tend to operate in their own lane, and cross-functional collaboration can be painful. Information gets stuck instead of shared.
