At the same time, a friend who interviewed there got told "You need to work hard and probably on evenings and weekends too". Not a big selling point in Sweden where work / life balance is important (especially to those having or wanting a family).
Inhumane working conditions, getting tons of money from the government, toxic work environment, ignoring OSHA, you name it.
Was just recently investigated for sneaking in unregistered immigrant workers into their facility. Obviously they were working extremely long hours + weekends for peanuts while sidestepping all safety rules.
Not in the EU generally, and especially not in Scandinavia.
At least in Norway working overtime is only allowed up to a legally specified limit, even if you volunteer for it. The limit is 400 hours per 52 weeks and that will require permission from the Labour Inspection Authority (Arbeidstilsynet).
