Pros

Friendly office staff. It has a possibility to be a good place to work for (if they structure and set procedures in place)

Cons

No office structure, lots of office politics to deal with and no direction nor training available for new employees. They have a (huge) turn over. In the few days I was there I noticed people being "Fired & Hired" There are some top Executives that are rarely seen. I thought they would be the ones running the decisions and have an overall office goal, however they were very much disengage.

Cons

1. Departments not accountable to one another, 2. Managers with authority, power and knowledge oversee the aggregate instead of getting involved at the granular level to effect change and prevent repeating losses, 3. Employees not backed or supported when disreputable customers seek to take advantage of the company

Pros

Flex scheduling, great work life balance, true diversity, upper management listens even if people in reviews don't always know it. Compensation is fair, pension is good and nice 401k.

Cons

Call themselves a flat hierarchy... not true... there are many complicated dotted lines so that corporate in Finland can integrate into the US- not a bad thing but it does make daily business complicated. Helpdesk support is weak unless you can get one of the us based KONE TMs to help. US Vacation policy is antiquated and the director of HR from Finland had no clue it was like that here.... major disconnection.
