Pros

Flexible hours depend upon the manager. Dome managers are very flexible in working hours, working from home from time to time. However, some other managers are not flexible at all.

Cons

Not much chance for downtime between projects. You get to accumulate alot of banked time with almost no chance of taking it. Promotions are very rare. Past the second level of management it is almost excusively Swedes. Decision are made by consensus (nobody dares putting it's foot down) and then the earlier decisions often get brought back into question over and over.
