Pros

- The people in Basefarm are amazing, fantastic colleagues - The entrepreneurial spirit within most of Basefarm employees, own iniatives are highly appreciated - Basefarm is a perfect fit for ambitious self-driven people who wants to develop on a both professional as well as personal level - Our nische, we are a technical company and the nerdinesz level is high - obviously good - Work life balance - during my 2,5 years at Basefarm I've never been turned down to work from home. I'm able to leave earlier, come later as long as I take responsibility for my work. - All in all, I see Basefarm as a great place to work. Basefarm isn't perfect and has its challenges, but they don't scare me or bores me. The charm with Basefarm is that you can impact and make changes, people are listening to you - the sky is the limit.

Cons

- As with everything, all pros can turn into cons by extreme values. It may happen that Basefarm encourages own iniatives, but sometimes Management lacks in supporting own initiatives. - As situated at the Stockholm office, Basefarm Norway could improve in listening more to the Netherlands and Sweden, their challanges and way of working. Learn from other countries, and share knowledges cross country. - Tooling - Communication could always improve

Pros

* Very flexible hours. * Kind colleagues. * Can work with field you prefer. * You can slack around and get paid as long as you fake your hours, or just said you forgot your hours as management does not seem to care.

Cons

* You you will have to work extreme hours, and many employees are burned out quickly. * You are alone don't expect any department to help you or to try and assist you. * Customers are not their focus only receiving more revenue is. * Regularly salary freezes and bonus was never given in the 3 years I worked there, however managers get bonus. * Salaries are extremely unfair, you must get a high as possible salary directly when you start working there or you will stay low forever. For example people that work there for 5 years and worked very hard for the company are at-least 1000 euro lower then new employees starting there with much lower education. * Management is non technical and does not understand how to run a company.

Pros

Big opportunities for career growth. Nice and kind environment with kind people. I found the board and all the other high ranked supervisors to be down to earth and very likeable, They socialized alot and did not seem to exaggerate their ranks, which is good.

Cons

Did not invest that much in education for the personel. Did not invest much money in their personel either. There was no real "carrot" for the employees, which could push them to work harder. LIke for example a good bonus. I worked for 5 years and got no bonus during this time. Even though i really worked hard.
