Pros

Good 401k, Medical and Vacation Benefits. Lots of vacations to maintain a healthy balance.

Cons

While the overall company has a good culture, Austin site doesn't have the culture what Sweden has. Even though projects have long durations teams struggle to get things done on time, and then politics starts with blame games. Very bad tools and infrastructure. Every other day you will login and not be able to work as infra would be hung or super slow. Its more of a bootlicking culture where people who are close to leads get all the career growth. Teams are technically poor with no understanding of underlying technology, its just blind execution. There is neither depth nor breadth in the work, its about writing some tests, no real development work is there in Austin. All the technical interesting work stays in Sweden. Line management is pretty much useless with no technical skills and no drive to improve things. They just write some politically correct emails. Anyone who is good leaves the place in 6months to about a 1-1.5 years time frame at max. In short no learning and growth, if you want to kill your career sure come here.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
