Competitive salaries, good benefits, and talented people. An inspiring place to work with nice and friendly people and open communication.
|
The company was unable to deliver on its ambitious sales budget and because of a too large cost structure, the company had to go through a number of reorganizations.

Be more realistic in sales budgeting. Follow up more closely on all sales channels and geographies, and act more quickly when targets are not met.

The company had a very flat hierarchy, and the company had some very bright people. People in the company are very nice to each other and it had flexible hours as most Swedish companies.
|
The company was small, and its sales were not good, so the budget was tight. The company also went through several rounds of reorganisation, so there were a lot of changes.

It is too late since the company has ceased to exist. At the time, the strategy mistake was to become a one-stop-shop - given its size, it was too ambitious.

Nice Sweden company worth

Small and efficient, many engineers work more than 5 years, good team culture and nice environment

Never Able to Build Momentum
|
|
Above average benefits
Start-up, new venture (in North America) mentality, very motivated & energetic people
Great product (network gear), robust features
Building a strong presence in Scandinavia, Middle East, some Asia
|
Lack of realistic, disciplined senior management
"All eggs in one basket" approach assumed fiscal, capital, cash flow problems would be solved once an IPO was done - no "plan B" was ready
Product line that was best in industry was not updated regularly or quickly enough for company to maintain technological leadership position
Cash, capital shortfall, recession, and loss of sales led to severe cutbacks, closure of North American division

Realize that it is an international company and communicate accordingly to all branches of the company. Don't forget outlying offices/personnel.
