Pros

- Since being a consulting company, various different projects and positions are available - Secure 9 to 5 workplace - Efforts being made to stand out from bigger and less agile similar companies such as Tieto and CGI - Diacor services - Hires new graduates

Cons

- Salary not the most competetive, raises are not given easily or frequently - A bit bureaucratic in some things - Applied KIKY stupidity with 6 min longer workdays - Management and business people make some irresponsible decisions at times while searching only short-term benefits - I'd prefer a location closer to the center of Helsinki

Pros

Excellent 401k matching (if you stick around long enough for it to vest) Employer-paid benefits Work with a highly regarded application framework (Qt)

Cons

Crappy work-life balance benefits, very uneven (EU gets 5 weeks of time off, USA gets 2 weeks) Not a team-oriented environment. USA (sales) vs EU (engineering) Sucky IT policies (bordering on paranoid) Cheap on salary. Big split in corporate culture: open vs closed source. Business mission flawed. Work office was often empty, very little team cohesion, lots of passive-aggressive behavior by management and colleagues. Outsourced HR and IT

Pros

5 weeks of vacation (European company benefits) Good medical insurance options Great product

Cons

clueless managers too much politics and high school-clique culture Too much Estrogen in the air No real mission or clear business objectives and long term vision Free product is so good few customers wants to pay for the supported version (like trying to sell extended warranty to Honda owners)
