Get Started

Sweden is a great place for work. The country is known for equality, pragmatism, and a healthy work-life balance. At the same time, many international professionals experience confusion and culture shock as soon as they start working for a Swedish organisation. Why does everyone seem so lazy? Why do we never reach a decision in meetings? What should you wear when it’s minus 15 C outside and you have an important meeting? What skills personality traits are valued by Swedish employers? How can you make a good impression at your new Swedish job?
