Pros

Before applying I had high expectations about the Swedish brand as I thought it would be a great move to be part of a growing organization

Cons

I was very skeptic to join due to the majority negative comments about the HR and the office culture in Bangalore as I read people noted down racism, unprofessional HR, poltics etc. Post offer, the first round of conversation with HR confirmed that people who wrote earlier were true as it was not a positive conversation. Refused the offer to join although they offered me a great hike. At the end of the day it is not about hike but about work culture, and people you work with that counts! HR is the face of an organisation and the first team that you meet and if they don't treat you well, then better do not join and later regret.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
