Pros
Good work life balance. Good amount of short term travel.
Cons
1. There is no scientific or number based appraisal process. The appraisal totally depends on perception of one individual called customer (again, a Volvo employee) who would rate you based on his/her interactions with you. 2. You make good progress if you a malayalee chrisitan, or a malayalee. The work done by these people would always get recognition and all initiatives/committee are usually filled with them. If you don't belong to that race, then you would be made to quit on your own. 3. The company HR policies are completely based on your manager. Right from getting a pen till onsite assignments , you would need requesting him/her. So, one wrong move with him/her and it would cost your relationship badly. Lot of managers are misfit for the job and totally partial.
