Pros

IKEA the company is amazing. Great benefits and customer appreciation. Great incentives for their favorites.

Cons

Management members that have been there for years are against change and insuffencently trained to prepare new employees with the necessary tools needed for success. There are also way too many "cooks in the kitchen" per say.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
