Business Outlook

Pros

PTO is good, co workers in the field teams , field services are good.

Cons

Project teams and management are incompetent. Management is too decentralized, often many departments and teams forced to work together due to the nature of the project , resulting in lack of communication and competence, No accountability. Too many government incursions, too many government investigations,bribery etc also most recent paid millions to Islamic state

Business Outlook

Pros

Swedish work environment, everything that is good about that culture: trust, not overdriven employees

Cons

Low salaries (In Hungary), smart people are leaving because of not-so-bright (technologically) people left in position of power due to managment driven culture instead engineering (=promotes people with soft skills instead of useful knowledge). Tries to solve everything with introducing more management roles.
