Pros

- Management is receptive to feedback, approachable. - There is not much micromanagement. - Compensation is good.

Cons

- No challenging work, menial work mostly maintenance from Helsinki office is outsourced to India. Management does not seem to care about this issue. All the good work is taken up either at Helsinki or New York office. - Accountability is there only for the Indian teams. Helsinki teams do not seem to have as much accountability. - HR is receptive to feedback but unable to resolve issues. Coming up with excuses. - Parking space is simply not there to fit vehicles of all the employees. Have to park outside. - Food is not good but this issue is being taken care of.

Pros

Flexibility (full autonomy over schedule and location), office perks, tons of resources for self development

Cons

Increasingly toxic and cutthroat culture. Pay is below market rate. Quality appears to be less of a leadership priority and there is extreme inconsistency in terms of internal talent. Lots of closed-door conversations happening by leadership. No feasible upward mobility if you didn't start at the right time a few years ago.
