How is it to work in Saab?

Saab is a good employer. I feel that they have taken good care of me. For example, they have a good program for new employees with a signed mentor in order to help you get a good start. We work with very complex systems and technologies and therefore it helps a lot to start with plenty of support. Everyone understands the difficulties and are very keen to help, no matter the question.

What I also like is how much freedom I have when planning my job, or finding balance between work and my free time or family matters.

What is especially fun with your work?

We have a good relationship between us in the team, which makes the job more fun. Besides that, I enjoy developing new airplanes with the latest technologies, which is the reason for why I applied for this job in the first place.

I also like having a technical leader role, which is a role that you don't see that often in other places.

Is there something you would like to tell to someone who does not have any experiences with Saab?

We work with the latest technology, which is extremely interesting. Not only that, but I feel that in Saab we work together with project leaders and managers that listens to everyone's need and truly want to help everyone get the position or the role the person wants. Saab motivates people to move around, even move to other sites in the world, in order to expand the employees view and knowledge.

What do you think about the team you work with?

My team is very good. We help each other with anything, from small to big tasks. We sit close together too which helps cooperation and communication. Every day we have a short meeting to see where we are, what needs to be done and who needs help. From time to time we even have so called team-lunch to improve the relationship in the team. There are other teams that do more things outside of work, but that differ from person to person and from team to team. Although our section organizes activities where we all (or most of us) participate, like barbeque.
