Pros

- They have a nice pamphlet about their values. - They mention it's a family. - World class marketing department.

Cons

- They have absolutely no values at all, probably why the values need to be advertised so much. - Really weird way of treating their family or it only applies to the actual family members, it's a family company after all. - The actual job contract is pretty shady. - Crazy favouritism, some people with the same title doing the same work can be paid twice as much. Talk about your salaries people. - Incompetent management. - You might be hired to be a consultant, but in reality you're an entrepreneur who is expected to work 12 hours a day if things are not going right. - People are roleplaying that they work at McKinsey and boast about who has the most overtime hours (which by the contract are unpaid).

Pros

Greenstep offers a workplace with many competent and friendly colleagues, especially in Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands, and provides the opportunity to work with engaging and enjoyable clients across a variety of projects.

Cons

There are significant internal challenges. The leadership is generally weak, particularly at higher levels where managers based in Finland make decisions that affect employees in other countries without sufficient understanding of local needs. The organization is described as flat, but in reality, this often means a lack of actual leadership, structure, and clear direction. Team leads can be strong, but they are often overburdened due to the absence of support from the broader leadership structure. The HR function is poor, lacking clear processes and routines, and there is no effective anonymous channel specifically for employees to report issues or misconduct. There is also a noticeable “hire and fire” or disposable approach to employees. Many experts who are good at what they are doing are quitting. Salary development is weak, and bonuses are limited. Cross-country collaboration, particularly with parts of Finland, can be challenging, with low openness to input from other markets. Combined with unstable systems, heavy workloads, and unclear structures, this makes it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance, with many employees experiencing high stress and risk of burnout.
