Pros

Hands on and engaging working environment where you need to wear quite a few hats. You get to experience almost everything by the time you finish your first month in the role. Friendly co-workers and line managers that do make everything worth it - dependent on work location and the team, of course. Good benefits programme and leave policy.

Cons

Very high tempo and absolutely no lull periods - back to back major projects/campaigns, leading to a lack of time to fulfill the basics for the store. Leads to a lot of unreported but still necessary OT to meet the store's needs - work brought home to complete, poor work life balance. Very lean staffing that increases workload on the team. Poor incentive plan at year of joining. Higher management (store, and service office) not sensitive to what's actually happening on the ground, and not helpful in making things happen. Sometimes too many stakeholders trying to put their hand in the pot.

Refused offer!

Pros

Before applying I had high expectations about the Swedish brand as I thought it would be a great move to be part of a growing organization

Cons

I was very skeptic to join due to the majority negative comments about the HR and the office culture in Bangalore as I read people noted down racism, unprofessional HR, poltics etc. Post offer, the first round of conversation with HR confirmed that people who wrote earlier were true as it was not a positive conversation. Refused the offer to join although they offered me a great hike. At the end of the day it is not about hike but about work culture, and people you work with that counts! HR is the face of an organisation and the first team that you meet and if they don't treat you well, then better do not join and later regret.
