None, they don't listen, they treat people like garbage and don't care at all about anyone

The whole company is a waste of time and energy, please for your own sanity don't apply. When making people redundant the ceo shouted at people for asking serious questions about their future

At Varjo, we strive to create an inclusive and respectful work environment where every team member feels valued and heard. We regret that we fell short of these expectations in your case. We remain committed to improving our work environment and leadership practices to foster a more empathetic and supportive workplace.
We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
- Varjo Team
Work life balance, including managers that come in for like four hours a day. Travel is fun and the team has a good energy to it. Finland HR is wonderful.
Cons
The company isn’t doing well at all. Management all knew each other before getting hired so there’s an inappropriate bias at that upper level. Desperate to hit an unattainable quota. People leave and the position doesn’t get replaced. Micromanaging of account executives. No career path because they can’t hire or need new headcount. Managers get title changes and promotions while the rest of the team struggles to get by since they never can hit quota. All the best employees in the US and Helsinki have left.
