Svantaggi
Feckless management in Aftermarket Engineering (AMT) - they don't care about developing you as an employee, they're just in AMT to build their resume and get the next position. You'd better know how to work at Volvo already, and understand their internal processes and idiosyncratic systems, because their idea of training is to throw you into the pool with a cement vest on. Then your manager will hold you accountable for any mistakes made because you didn't know what you were supposed to do. HR consistently ignores employees unless they want something. Vacation is structured according to company dictates; 2-2 1/2 weeks of your vacation timing is dictated by the company holiday schedule. Sick time also comes out of vacation, so while it sounds like a lot up front, you don't get scheduling flexibility, so you'll end up with about a 2 weeks that are actually yours to schedule, and don't get sick!
