Not ideal for a non-Nordic person

Group business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Only office vibes are ok but can't say about the remaining

Cons

Very hard to integrate if you are a non native person from the Nordic. Very hard culture on innovation and too much hierarchy when it is not needed. A lot of confusion among the management since they don't know exactly what to do and simply say "DO MORE" without a clear direction. They want to micromanage every single step and excuse this since it is the only way in order to keep track of the activities and most of the times the management contradict by themselves and never properly apologise
