Pros

-Great advantages (allowance for working out for example) -Flex time, no over time, very good balance between work and private life. -Fairly relaxed work environment, great place to socialize when you are a foreigner. -Possibility to develop and move in different departments (harder to move up though) -Genuinely focusing on sustainability both in the office and with the products. -Discount on all H&M group brands -HQ located in Stockholm's city center -Pretty cool to work for a brand that is global and known all over the world.

Cons

-Quite low salary especially for Stockholm's lifestyle -It's far from being the most creative place, commercial aspect taking too much over creativity and fashion forwardness. -You need to be political, it's supposed to be a place where you can speak up your mind, but you should say what they want to hear.
