At the office in Stockholm, we take advantage of the opportunity to socialize - we strengthen the team spirit through joint breakfast, coffee and regular team activities and section meetings.

As many of our assignments are in the public sector and are security-classified assignments, you must have very good knowledge of Swedish and English, to cope with the assignments and meet the requirements of our customers.
