Poorly manage company

Pros

Salary and bonus. Friendly HR people.

Cons

This company is poorly managed. They attract you there with good salary and potential bonuses, especially for senior employee. One you get there; you realize that they do not have any network for sales and the promises future assignment is in fact only in their wishes. You then ended up doing things that you have no interest for. The employee rotation is very high as people work there for very short period and leave or get fired. If you have an established career, do not waste your time going there. They will never be able to meet your expectations. Go there only if you are newly arrived in Finland and you need a quick job. Once you are there, continue your job search for a better and more serious place to work.

Good compensation but not worth it

Pros

Compensation is good and colleagues are always willing to help you. Some colleagues’ technical knowhow is also amazing. English-speaking friendly.

Cons

Social media posts don’t reflect the reality and it’s not nearly as good a workplace as one might think. Management talks bad about almost everyone. I experienced unprofessional behaviour from the management. The company is forcing people to work on tasks that are not even remotely related to what they signed up for. Projects don’t have enough people working on them so many employees (if not all) are struggling with work/life balance (which doesn’t exist in this company). Also many employees are given unrealistic deadlines and then publicly shamed for not meeting them. Just to prove my point, there are more former employees than current employees on LinkedIn and the company was founded two years ago. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. They don’t treat people well.

A land of false promises

Pros

Not much. Some nice co-workers.

Cons

This is probably the worst company In Finland. A land of false promises. First, they will attract you with a generous bonus formula based on your billable hours that will be added on top of your base salary. This seems very attractive, but this apply only if you make overtime, and the client is willing to paid. Fine normal. But if that happened, the company would always find a way not to paid you extra time with some bogus reasons. Every excuse will be presented to you to exclude you from getting pay the amount you expected. The bonus formula is just a scam. This led to the second fact. If you’re a senior consultant, they will attract you by saying that they have a lot of demand for your skills and they need you right away. What you will find out when you get there is that they do not have any work for you. What they want is your contacts and relationships. They will ask you names, and they will contact them to sold you there. As their reputation is not great, they need your input to get to prime level companies. Their client base is made mostly from second tier companies except for a bank. If you do not want to share your relations or they cannot sell your services, you are doomed. This led to the third fact. They claimed that they are a fast-growing company. Again, this is not true. The company workforce stagnates under 30 people for years. Only few hardcore employees remain there. It is not difficult to get hire there. The onboarding process is fast forward, But why? Simply because of the heavy employe turnaround. Most of the people do not work there for long. The poor salary paid, the lack of opportunities and false promises from senior managers place employees on a carrousel. Watch out also of the social media hype. Their Web site is full of nice pictures of beautiful landscape. Quite a contradiction of their office which is located in a cheap building in Helsinki suburb. The first time you go there, you will most likely be greeted by one of these few senior consultants dressed in sloppy clothes. Quite a contrast with the image they try to sell. Leadership promised to move out to a nicer place for years. Another broken promise. Employees are strongly encouraged to follow their social medias to create some hype for them. This is their only way to get some attention. Based on that, do not trust highly favorable reviews on any platform. They are generally not very much detailed while those that are least favorable present the grim reality. Make your own conclusions. Finland is a nice place to work. This place is not.
