Quick-paced startup company with great potential for individual progress (if you've got what it takes)

Senior graphics software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

— Great technology and possibility to participate in building new pieces of tech from the ground up. — Relatively relaxed atmosphere: you can control your own pressure, but the great freedom comes with a great responsibility. — Compensation and benefits package are comparable to only very few companies in Finland. — Provides a lot of opportunity for professional and career growth.

Cons

— In the beginning of pandemic COVID has hit the company pretty hard resulting in plenty of stuff being laid off, which deteriorated the morals quite significantly. — As often happens in startups, work direction may change rather quickly and one may end up working on something that has to be done "yesterday" and not necessarily directly related to the area of competence or the formal title of the role. — The work pace is sometimes rather exhaustive (but if you've got what it takes the outcome is very rewarding)

Varjo Response

Thank you for the feedback! While we agree that our technology and products are top-notch, we are very sorry to hear about your feelings. Like thousands of other technology companies worldwide, we were forced to scale down our operations during the COVID outburst in spring 2020. Even though we turned every stone together with our staff, we weren’t able to avoid personnel cuts entirely. We were incredibly sorry to have to say goodbye to some of our skilled colleagues, and the interpretation of using COVID as an excuse is simply not true. Since then, Varjo has been on a steady financial growth curve, and some of our talents have in fact re-joined the company. We hope you have already found your next career challenge too. We want to wish you all the best for your path forward, both in this analogue world of ours as well as in any future realities.
