Pros

100% salary during Föräldraledighet. Central Stockholm location. Good benefits. Friendly people. Side projects are allowed but require approval. Depending on project, manager and role WFH/Hybrid/Office flexibility can be good. Free breakfast on Thursdays. Onsite barista.

Cons

Projects pivot frequently without much warning. Short deadlines will pop up and move at the last minute. Production process has changed several times and is still not understood. Lack of clarity on project goals, across all projects. Lack of communication between departments and little to no producers. Staff retention and churn is proving problematic. Lack of professional development structure. Cliquey company culture. No bonuses until the company turns a profit and bonus structure is unexplained. No shares being distributed or share scheme. Top down development approach. Opaque company structure.

Pros

Most employees are extremely welcoming and kind, Facilities and office are very generous and in a lovely area of Stockholm, Good levels of trust and belief overall

Cons

Convoluted layout of the floorplan in the office due to the nature of the old building Slight lack in maturity around organisation and decision making processes by design, which impacts some people significantly more than others
