Pros

A big name in the small circle of seismic processing business, at least for the past few years. This company was a pioneer in seismic processing.

Cons

The management is chaotic in the Calgary office. Extremely long working hours is a direct result of horribly inefficient management. It is impossible to have a life if you work for the imaging department. In addition to it, the strong favoritism will make your life even worse if you are not your manager's pet. Company shows no loyalty to long term employees. The fire and hire cycle is always on. You can not really gain much transferable skills in this company. Without using the proprietary software packages, there is very little you can do. Years of experience here will not be a big plus on your resume when you start to seek new opportunities.

Pros

Viridien is a great company to work for, with a positive and professional working environment. The company has a strong international footprint, a diverse mix of nationalities and backgrounds, and a good balance of technical depth and business ambition. Colleagues are friendly, collaborative, and highly capable, and the leadership team is generally accessible and open to discussion. The work can be challenging and intellectually interesting, especially for people who enjoy technical, global, and client-facing environments.

Cons

Career progression could be much clearer and more structured. Promotion paths, development plans, and expectations for advancement are not always easy to understand, which creates uncertainty for employees who want to grow within the company. Salaries are also slightly below market average in some areas, and compensation should remain competitive to retain strong talent. Like many global technical companies, priorities can also shift quickly, so clearer communication and consistency would help.

Viridien Response

Thank you for your constructive feedback. Insights like yours help us continue to improve, and we're pleased to have you as part of the Viridien team.
