Pros

Work life balance is usually decent but overtimes are not rare

Cons

Old offices with really awful coffee machines. Awful middle management, in fact I was illegally rejected for part time study leave by my manager which is a law in Sweden. Not much room to improve professionally. Performance reviews are joke. Middle management is not doing their job well. Imagine a company that lays off 25 years old who's eager and motivated to contribute and keeps a 65 years old who is about to retire. Have become really bad in the past year.
