Pros

The local RO culture is a good one and the local manager is actually trying to keep this going. Most of the teams have good, friendly and helpful people. The environment is pleasant and office and equipment adequate and continuously improving. There is an interesting mix of extra benefits.

Cons

Wages are on the low side, even if many years ago Basware RO was famous for having the best people and the best salaries. You don't have any possibility to renegotiate your salary, and the yearly increases are like a third of the local inflation (so you basically get a real purchasing power cut every year). Even if there is a clear desire not to hire toxic people, sometimes because internal personnel is being promoted, that does not have proper managing training and human relation skills, they turn out not to be the best choice (quite the opposite in some teams). This could be corrected but it does not really happen as it would involve hiring from outside (which would imply paying them competitive salaries).

Pros

They pay for all airfare with the Corp Credit card

Cons

Started an account expansion team in 2026, led by an inexperienced RVP with little to no management skills and a very tactical approach. Product enablement in Finland did not translate to what customers owned. 5 weeks before accounts were assigned. Another 2 weeks before comp plans were issued. ARR price points were a fraction of what was communicated during the interview process. No customer information available in SFDC. Needed to access multiple systems to find contracts and customer entitlements. The expense reporting system is almost unusable.
