Pros

• Freedom whenever you want to initiate a new plan or way of doing your job. • Basware has people dedicated to enrich wellbeing within the company - results are visible. • Bonus once a year, or quarterly, depending on the department. • Your voice is most of the time heard. • Senior Management is very professional and they seem to knows how to handle all types of situations. • Diversity & Inclusion. • Job shadowing and job rotation. • You will get the opportunity to work with some of the largest companies in the world as customers/ partners from various industries.

Cons

• Even with freedom of choice, there are strict processes that evaluate and measure almost anything, this is good for the company, but it can feel like micro-management. • The yearly bonus is barely impacted by your own performance. Hard-working and skilled people gain almost as much as every other colleague. Salaries are usually evened between employees. If you are a top-performer (with 100%/200%/ even 300% KPI over-reached) it doesn't quite count and managers will always reply with: "you are a pro, but we have a limited budget". • In almost any department, there is a massive backlog of tasks and projects and it sometimes takes many months for new assignments to start to be taken care of by someone - dues to shortage of people.

Pros

Smart Technical Professionals Flexible start times - Work From Home If you are an SME and enjoy working in the same role for many years, small company could work for you Many opportunities for European employees to transfer offices for assignments in the U.S.

Cons

Lack good leaders. People are promoted to management based on tenure in a role, in lieu of leadership skills and other important competencies. Culture inconsistency - employees are told that Basware is one of the most sought after companies in the U.S. to work for and it's not genuine. The Human Resources department and local managers force employees to complete the surveys and there's also a sense of "bribery" by treating employees to lunch and issuing small trinkets as gifts immediately prior to them completing the surveys. In former companies and current company, it has always been "optional". Basware is a Finnish company with offices in the U.S. and that might explain the reason there is minimal focus on "inclusion" and community involvement at the company. There is a need for Diversity training within the company. It is a male dominated in some U.S. locations and I had the misfortune of witnessing several male co-workers inappropriately communicate with and talk about female co-workers and women at-large.
