Pros

+ Proactive mover in the market in terms of growth + Active approach to developing common culture and practices + Wide scope of technologies and verticals. Possibility rotate in-house. + Lots of people with deep customer industry and technical knowledge. This insight is appreciated by the customers as well. + Domestic / Nordic customers means not a lot of travel time

Cons

- No real company culture yet, maybe due to inorganic growth. Each unit has a sub-culture of its own. For better or for worse. - Very conservative compensation approach. According to the annual report less than 1% of personnel included in equity plans (essentially SVP and up). - Still siloed despite recent efforts. - Lacking a company wide vision - Depending on the unit, being a non-native Finnish speaker might be an issue

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

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)
