O/T - Working for Swedish company

Having read past threads on here, I know we Clarets are a well travelled cosmopolitan lot and so I wondered if anyone had ever worked in a Swedish company?
I have an interview with a Swedish Bank in London next week and wanted to know what the office culture was like, whether to expect a relaxed atmosphere or a very regimented office culture?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
3 points today please UTC!!

They'll expect you to be able to assemble your own desk as a prerequisite...

My other half works for a Swedish company and says it's pretty relaxed. Relaxed dress code etc and a generally collaborative way of working seeking to gain the consensus of everyone involved before making changes.

Thanks for that TbK and thanks to the other half. Gives me some idea what to expect next week.
