Pros

Great products. Lovely Swedish heritage. Flexible working hours. Large pantry.

Cons

Incompetent leadership with Dunning–Kruger syndrome - the high-level management's cognitive bias of illusory superiority isn't the worst, it's their inability to recognize their lack of ability. This appears to be across almost all functions. Imagine the audacity to celebrate their (often embarrassing) performance with minimum level of proficiency. The best part is the management bragging about "diversity" while practicing racial discrimination. In this day and age, white privilege is admittedly achieving normalcy, but it's a whole new level in Electrolux. Being Caucasian (especially Eastern European) you can, over and over again as results have shown, get away with poor performance.

Pros

Office is clean. Free electric vehicle charging is available.

Cons

Global Leadership is forcing RTO which is presumably to get people to quit so they don't have to have a RIF and deal with that backlash. There's no reason for it after posting great numbers while everyone was remote or hybrid. Leadership is expecting the same output from employees as those at the banks in Charlotte. But that's without the benefits of high pay, big bonuses and unlimited PTO. Unless you're on a director's favorites list, you are just a pawn.
