A meat grinder of internal competition, long hours and clueless management - Research Geophysicist Viridien Employee Review

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and bonus structure. Benefits are good. They run it a bit like a startup, with lots of food, gym on site, and valet services for things like running errands, shopping, car washes, etc.

Cons

Very competitive. Regional offices are pitted against each other. Not a collaborative research environment. Long hours are expected to be put in. Researchers are not necessarily required to have knowledge of geophysics, but if you can write code you are automatically a "researcher". Senior management has no strategy or vision for how to develop technology. They rely on the fact they can throw lots of people at a problem and churn out results quickly rather than focusing on quality and what can differentiate them in the long run.

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.
