Pros

At my time there, the benefits were really good. There was insurance, food in the office, and the office itself is great in Stockholm.

The colleagues are good, and there is something to learn from everyone. There are some strong staff engineers. The engineering practices and architecture are mature. There are hackathons where you can make something cool. There is a good culture overall.

Cons

Career was hard to progress. There was no way for me to switch teams. It had a bit of promotion-driven development.

Advice to Management

Open more career options to folks.
