Pros

IKEA has very structured and well-established processes. Roles, responsibilities, and workflows are clearly defined, which creates a strong sense of order and predictability.

Cons

Tasks are often split into very detailed sub-steps, and extensive alignment across stakeholders is required. This can result in longer lead times and slower decision-making, especially for cross-functional topics.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
