Pros

- Providing better benefit than average: phone, lunch, and sport. - Can work remotely, but need to come to the office a few times a week.

Cons

- After the internal political struggle, the CTO, team lead, and product owner ha left. There is no local manager for the development team in Finland. - The top managers from Topcon do not really care about software development since it's not their main source of income. - Their way of handling human resources is the worst as far as I know. Many people have left because of the uncertainly inside the working environment. - The codebase from the current project is horrible, the technical debt is huge. There is no documentation and most of the people with the project's domain knowledge had left. - I would not recommend this company to anyone that has a plan to change company unless you are unemployed.

Exposure to cutting-edge technologies including SLAM, mobile mapping, digital twins, machine control, and survey solutions. Ability to work directly with dealers, strategic accounts, construction firms, and technology partners across multiple industries. High visibility role with opportunities to collaborate across sales, marketing, product management, and executive leadership. Growing market demand for digital reality and integrated construction workflows creates strong long-term potential. Opportunity to influence go-to-market strategy and help build scalable processes from the ground up. Diverse and engaging work environment with a mix of field engagement, strategic planning, relationship development, and technology demonstrations. Potential for career growth into senior sales leadership or executive roles as the business expands. Collaborative relationships with dealers and customers who are actively investing in innovation and productivity improvements.

Cons

Building consistency across a large dealer network can be challenging and requires significant coordination and follow-through. Emerging technology adoption can involve longer sales cycles and customer education efforts. Balancing direct strategic account engagement while supporting channel partners may create competing priorities. Requires strong self-motivation and organizational skills due to the broad scope of responsibilities. Rapidly evolving technology landscape means continuous learning is necessary to stay competitive. Visibility and leadership opportunities often come with increased pressure to deliver measurable results quickly. Travel requirements may be substantial depending on territory coverage, dealer engagement, and customer support needs. Cross-functional alignment between sales, marketing, and operational teams can sometimes take time in large organizations. Scaling new business initiatives may require navigating changing priorities and internal processes.
