Pros

The company is relatively open and it's easy to communicate across teams and beyond. The benefits are good and there's a good working environment.

Cons

Still very Finnish focused and thus means if you are not a Finnish employee you don't get as many opportunities. A lot of bureaucracy which can be tiresome. Management approach not always consistent.

Good pay and flexible on time off. Great benefits and retirement.

Cons

It is a paper manufacturer that makes paper for printing which is a tough and shrinking business.

Pros

Teams in North America are the hardest working individuals. They have incredible talent and are extremely supportive.

Cons

Every part of UPM is controlled and ran by management in Europe. This means that the teams in other regions are stifled, siloed, and become stagnant. This alienates innovation and process improvement, perpetuating an atmosphere where talent cannot be maintained or grow.
