Pros

The company values are great and the work is interesting. The product range is also great with a lot of new ambitious projects.

Cons

There are a lot of inefficiencies in the internal processes because the organization is also too complex mostly in engineering and too many people could have their say into any decision. It makes the whole thing to move very slowly. On top of this it is discouraging many good people from trying to stretch themselves. At the moment too much attention is set on reduction of operating cost instead of focusing on key projects. It looks pretty much like micro management.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Great team of colleagues. Employee who are focused on ensuring their best. Excellent collaboration between teams. Colleagues who will look past the negative culture and continue to do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture & HR team who are clueless about global teams and work strategies. Focus on how many days and hours are spent in the office, rather than quality of work delivered. "You are being tracked by HR" has become the new way of life with the new culture. Total lack of communication after announcing job cuts are coming, due to awful truck sales and loss of market share in USA. Heavily bloated VP structure.
