Pros

Decent workload with many holidays. Easy to advance considering coworkers. Large company with many internal courses. Lund is a nice town.

Cons

Extremely depressing work environment. Earn lower than average salary. Unqualified and unmotivated coworkers. Many projects are dropped or discontinued.

Advice to Management

Cut away the unmotivated and unqualified engineers. Those bring everyone down.

Avoid at all costs dropping projects, as this is extremely discouraging for engineers.

One good programmer does the job of five average SEMC programmers. Let that person work in an encouraging environment and pay them a more than decent salary.

Wins:

  • Salary space
  • HR resources
  • Compensations
  • Electricity
  • General administration
  • Expensive consultant-led tracking of bugs introduced by employees who don't know allocated memory has to be freed.
