Pros

Good people. Global exposure. Excellent PTO.

Cons

95% of directors are male. 85% of managers are male. 50% of staff is female. Do the math. Promotion opportunities for females are limited and typically they already know who they want in the position before it's ever posted.

Pros

I love the people I work with - smart, hard working, committed, fun Products are innovative, and company is known for being on the forefront. Wonderful global environment where you can learn to engage with different cultures. Finnish culture that is pragmatic but dynamic. Company is moving in the right direction, and I see good things in the future.

Cons

Sometimes we act more like a family owned business than a cutting edge global company - in particular in North America. We need to hire the best and expect the best, and find a way to stay relevant with today's changing workforce. Sometimes leadership can be "old school" and so many of them have grown up at KONE that they have a hard time thinking about or even excepting new ways of doing things. Structure is flat, so it's not conducive to someone who wants constant title changes, but opportunities are there whether they are expansion of roles or promotions. Being mobile is a must for ladder climbers.
