Pros

Good salary and good benefits

Cons

Lots of pressure. The amount of time reserved in project schedules is not enough to do a good job, many projects are delivered with strong approximations and lack of understanding the nature of the data. Overtime is not explicitly requested, but doing regular hours is frown uppon. The company framework is incredably rigid and little room is left for creativity. All code is protected, not even employees can read it and everything is used as a black box, so a large portion of the work is made by trial and error. Employees are not given the oportunity to really understand the processes. What you learn in this job is to use the company's framework, which is not very useful moving to other jobs.

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.
