Pros

- Professional team, senior people only, supportive environment. - Company has lots of offices and teams and cross-team interaction is organised well - Flexible schedule, remote/partially remote work options. - Compensation level around 10k/month gross is really good for Helsinki + other benefits

Cons

- It is US company and sometimes it's hard to schedule calls with time that is good for all timezones. It may be especially important for managers (managers have lots of meetings)

Pros

* Supportive and collaborative environment * Few big egos, at every level people are supportive/collaborative (see point 1) * International perspective * Developer/open source community focused * Huge documentation focus because of the multiple time zones, which helps with good cross-team communication * Well organized HR and training so that onboarding is smooth * Good benefits, volunteer time off, PTO, relaxed atmosphere with professionalism * Well-established business with clear goals

Cons

* Can be difficult to coordinate meetings across time zones (on the positive, this leads to fewer meetings and better documentation/written communication!) * Lots of moving parts, can be hard to see across whole company

Pros

Some of the smartest people I've ever worked with as colleagues. Really interesting technology and problem space. Remote work and ownership culture are highlights.

Cons

CEO micromanages, doesn't delegate authority, and rarely celebrates success. He is not an inspiring leader to work for. Planning procedures do not allow resources to be managed for Automotive, resulting in repeated misses on goals and a lot of reactive work.
