Pros

1. Domain Knowledge - A clear focus on finding the best solutions for the Volvo Group to ensure competiteveness. 2. Continous improvement of ways of working and individual skillset (both soft-, technical- and domain/business knowledge).

Cons

1. Too much focus on cost/hour and relocating development to low cost countries wich has a long journey in aligning and understanding the core business of Volvo Group. 2. When sourcing from low cost countries there is a high focus on finding the cheepest ones which brings down the overall qualitiy of people hired from those contries.

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

Vacation, parental leave, cafeteria, DEI.

Cons

I feel like decisions are made by people not involved in processes which results in day to day activities becoming more and more difficult. Unable to schedule projects to save their lives. So many last minute tests and drop in testing, theres almost no point to schedule testing.
