Pros

Many great colleagues. Some nice benefits, such as dentist costs paid for a certain amount per year etc. In my unit, processes work fine.

Cons

It seems to me that the whole company does not have a clear vision, but the different units work as silos, with different cultures. Middle management is too busy, at least in my unit. Not enough time to really engage with employees. Career opportunities limited for a non-techie person if not in Helsinki area. Don't have a "same job same salary" principle, but rather everyone gets what their bosses think they deserve, and not measured for example with same metrics.

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)
