Pros

compensation is fair global exposure and travel some opportunities to rise to your highest level of incompetence only way to get promoted is to move to Finland

Cons

even high achievers are let go in mass layoffs most competent people have left the company by now if you're not Finish, forget it. long working hours if you are in other region besides Europe pay increases are minimal at best match cost of living during good years terrible management from middle all the way up the ladder... CEO is arrogant promotion within is non-existant if you are not use to Finish culture, get ready for "passive aggressive" oversight

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
