Ventajas

Great colleagues from different parts of the world, which is good to learn about different cultures.

Desventajas

Chaotic, no defined structure and roles. Company is spending money on unecessary things and has no control over its expenses. No work-life balance despite being a Swedish company (quite common receiving emails and messages in the middle of the night and on weekends). Bad culture, people do whatever they want and no one care about the consequences. There’s no registration of root causes, so the issues are happening more than one time and the circle never ends. Job description does not match with the current role and they simply change the responsabilities without asking before and even saying before, you simply need to accept. Engineering staff is doing the work of technicians. Environment of working is terrible, it does not have offices and desks for everybody - if you want to sit, you need to arrive very early. If you are planning to leave your country and/or your current work thinking that it is a good opportunity to grow in your career and develop your skills, please don’t do that - especially if you depend on a work permit. Apparently the marketing department is the best, because they can create this sense of desiring to be part of the transformation, but the reality is very different and frustrating. As an example, the trash is not sorted in Ett factory - and the company talks a lot about sustainability. The mindset is still as a start up and the management don’t change it to a big company mindset.

First of all, as fellow Northvolters we’re so sorry that our employer didn’t live up to your expectations. Northvolt is still a start-up, albeit a very large one. As such, we all need to step outside our defined roles to be able to reach our mission. That's actually an important part of our culture and the mindset we want all Northvolters to share, even if it means having to assemble the Ikea furniture on our own. Yes, ETT in Skellefteå is still a construction site. One of the biggest in Europe. We don´t yet have desks for every employee, we simply have to share. And our engineers are absolutely helping the technicians with their work, because we have to start somewhere. We know that Northvolt is not for everyone, but we’re truly sorry if we gave you the wrong impression of what this company is all about. Building a strong culture is likely as hard as building the world’s greenest batteries. But we’ll get there! Your and everybody else’s feedback are critical for us to succeed, so thanks for sharing. Please make sure to speak to HR or your manager as well.
