Pros
- Work/life balance is encouraged 1. Not ultra-competitive, great for those looking to settle for stable and balanced jobs. 2. Generous leave carry-over system. 3. 'Flat' structure meaning not much hierarchy politics. 4. Can sponsor for Industrial PhD training. Great if you really like the topic for research.
Cons
1. Slow career growth due to lack of extra competitive push (civilian side. Cannot comment on defense/military side) 2. Defense background means super strict networking protocols, sometimes leading to extremely slow administrative updates/works. 3. Number 2 also means some of the more interesting jobs/projects are off-limits to non-Swedish citizens or reserved to specific country locations due to sensitive nature. 4. Ambiguous expansion goals for R&D and Engineering in APAC area (personal opinion)
