Hello and thank you for your honest feedback. Of course, we hate to read negative reviews but they are crucial for us as we strive to improve as a company, each and every day. Work-life balance is critical not only from a personal perspective (affecting employee mental and physical health) but also from a business perspective too (affecting productivity, output quality and profits). For all these reasons and more, we never want to push our employees to feel overworked, overstressed or unhappy. At a group level, HR is working towards improving the recruitment process to ensure that we are always (like you advise) hiring and retaining the right people for the job. Getting this part wrong can negatively impact the workload and stress of teams. As we work on our recruitment processes, please do take your issues up with your line manager. We do not want any of our employees to feel they have no free or family time.

Thanks for reaching out. It is great to hear you have been working with us for so long – we truly strive to not only attract the best talent but also keep those people in the family. Our people, our teams and our culture are very important to us and they are often cited as one of the main “pros” of working here. One of our Culture Cornerstones is One Team and you seem to personify this with your long service and views on your co-workers. As for your comments regarding our identity, we do have a very long history – having been founded in Finland in 1851! There has been a lot of changes over the years and 2021 is set to bring some more, very positive, changes that will help solidify our identity and add to our rich history even more.

Pros

Autonomy. Managers checked in to make sure you were on task with the company goals but allowed you to execute without micromanaging.

Cons

At times it was unclear what the company vision / goals were.

Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear you feel a sense of autonomy and freedom in your role. Trust is one of our six Culture Cornerstones and it is fundamental to how we operate. We have also taken huge steps since you wrote your review to tackle the issues you raised. For one, we have a much more modern approach to internal communications – using various channels and tools to communicate key messages (including company vision and goals) to employees at all levels, locations and job functions. Our recent employee survey from 2020 indicated that an incredible 91% of employees feel a sense of clarity regarding what they are expected to achieve in their daily work. We hope to better this even further over the coming years.
