Pros

As brilliant and kind as my coworkers were, the toxicity, stress, and chaos from leadership overshadowed my experience.

Cons

I have never experienced such an unethical and poorly run company. While the external mission is to "change lives" for the better, the unspoken internal mission was to destroy lives. Rampant discrimination against women, proven by an employee-led internal research report. It was dismissed by Sr. Management and proven with a first round of layoffs of all the mothers with children at the company, no matter tenure, performance, or team. This was followed soon after by a wave of layoffs of Sr. Staff, most of which had built the organization. The CEO only cares about his own reputation and saving his company, he is incapable of empathy. The actions taken by this company are not representative of Swedish work culture, I don't know how they keep getting away with this year after year. It needs to be stopped. In fact, many former employees have tried to file cases with the Union, but somehow they keep being shut down or silenced.

Pros

Great place to help people all over the world improve their health by producing free, high-quality content plus some extras for the members who fund our work. Collaborative and respectful atmosphere.

Cons

Some "start-up" energy so if you want a lower-energy 9-5 vibe, it may not be for you.

Pros

Mission driven company focused on helping people improve their health and helping change the way the world see a healthy low carb lifestyle. Amazing group of people with a culture of collaboration, team work, incredible communication, and inspiring rach other.

Cons

I live in the US and the company is based in Sweden. But they still do an amazing job of keeping us connected with regular video conferences and trips to Sweden a few times per year
