Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues, tons of guidelines and materials to support in any role. Pretty good support functions.

Cons

Constant change, the information flow between HQ, Area and country organizations is inefficient. People working in the "frontline" offices may not get information about changes in processes at all, even if their job title would suggest that they should have the information. Compensation is very weak at least from a Finnish viewpoint, overtime is not compensated but is expected in some finance roles.

Working at KONE as an External Employee

Administrative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

During my two years with KONE, I would like to share some of the positive aspects of my experience as an external employee: Lower pressure on long-term commitments – As an external staff member, certain responsibilities are more limited compared to internal roles, which helps maintain manageable expectations. Professional work environment – Teams are generally collaborative, supportive, and respectful, regardless of employment status. Opportunities for skill development – The role provides exposure to various company systems, tools, and finance processes, including SAP.

Cons

As an external employee, job security is limited, as continued employment is contingent upon the duration and renewal of the contract, which may not always be guaranteed. Additionally, certain benefits available to regular employees may not be extended to external staff.
