Pluspunten

It is fantastic that The Board realized the Olaf was an empty, entitled stooge. When Olaf made his introductory tour in 2011, he said that change was needed because the Sandvik share was underperforming. He proceeded to crash the share and scramble the company. This guy should never run another company - he views himself as royalty when he is more like Ronald McDonald. Company history will log his tenure as a terrible mistake.

Minpunten

New Sandvik CEO is an unknown entity. Hopefully, he is of the "old school" Sandvik cloth.

Pluspunten

Work–life balance is actually respected. Most managers honor boundaries, don’t expect late-night firefighting as the norm, and are fine with you taking time off when you need it. Solid parental leave. The parental leave policy is extremely generous compared to a lot of places in the industry, and leadership is generally supportive of people actually using it. Interesting, challenging work. Plenty of chances to solve real problems, not just busywork. If you’re proactive, you can own projects and grow your skill set. Good benefits package. Healthcare, 401(k), and time off are competitive, and HR does a decent job of making the options clear. Smart coworkers who care. A lot of sharp people who genuinely want to do the right thing for customers and the business, which makes collaboration worthwhile when it works.

Minpunten

Communication needs improvement. Priorities and decisions don’t always flow clearly from leadership to the teams doing the work, which leads to confusion and rework. Too many silos. Teams tend to operate in their own lane, and cross-functional collaboration can be painful. Information gets stuck instead of shared.
