Pros

1. Malmo office was conducive feeling you were in a fun and dynamic org. 2. Some good colleagues.

Cons

1. Being part of the IKEA family, Ingka Centres was shockingly full of in house politics and childish backbiting. 2. Senior mgt (I refer to the year 2018 but I hear things have not changed) trying to one up each other. Their transformation was poorly managed and they lost some great people only to be left with those that said yes, yes and yes! 3. HR in particular was one odd group. Predominantly female led so diversity so was stated as a value but in reality not driven well! I was genuinely surprised...well not really as is the case with the IKEA group, a lot of senior mgrs and those one level below play an ego game that is set to benefit their next promotion within the org or to boast about being head-hunted externally but leaving a trail of disaster behind with unfinished goals and disappointed and confused people!
