stay away from this company

Pros

none (unless you listen to their fluff around beautiful socks and company culture and all that stuff which they do not follow)

Cons

- the company has a long history of hiring people and kicking them out during probation period (just before it ends) - management does not think much about employees, however they love talking about people first culture, family, lovely place to work etc - very little coaching and problems/challenges discussions. Company meetings are used to talk about all the goods stuff (by making bad things sound a bit better), problems are not discussed on the company level. - lay offs are not discussed on the company level, but instead on the team level, the rest of the company is given a false impression - dont expect any constructive feedback or anything, you will most likely do stuff on your own after the onboarding with emails and messages to the leadership team unresponded - base salary is low (lower than the market) - commission structure is vague and questionable Overall - stay away from this company, highly not recommended If you decide to apply - ask company management about recent lay-offs during the interview and see them mumbling about it and producing BS

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed and that you feel that working with us was a negative experience. There have been no layoffs at Videoly. However, some contracts were terminated during the probation period due to expectations not being met. A growth company is a challenging working environment, ​​especially in a business development role where goals and the role’s expectations are set high. Constant feedback and transparency about expectation setting and performance for each role is something we always strive to achieve. We’ll take onboard your valuable feedback and keep on improving our processes. We’re happy to continue this dialogue in case there’s anything you’d still like to discuss. You can contact your former team lead any time.

WORST COMPANY EVER, STAY AWAY

Pros

Nothing good to say about working here

Cons

A toxic work environment, employees are nice to your face and I would say very fake (especially management) but then stab you in the back. Most colleagues are very arrogant and mean, bullying new employees. They also fire people unexpectedly. Don't let their overly positive and obnoxious image on social media fool you, they are bullies and super fake people. I would not recommend anyone to interview here, save your time and go somewhere where you get treated like a decent human being. And don't get me started on the pay, its terrible. Would make me super happy to see this company go bankrupt. Looking at the financials, this company is not far from it

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We'd like to clarify that we do not have any team members in Helsinki or any other location who have worked with us for over 5 years and are now former employees. Your review has thus raised concerns about potential inaccuracies. Nonetheless, we truly understand that your feedback is rooted in frustration and are very sorry to hear that you have such strong negative sentiments toward our company and team members. It's one of our top priorities that every member of our team feels valued and respected, and we take great pride in the fact that according to pulse interviews and other frequently collected employee feedback data, our team members often highlight the strength of peer relationships as one of Videoly's key attributes. We remain committed to creating a positive workplace for all team members and have a zero-tolerance policy against bullying or any form of mistreatment, and take all accusations seriously. If you have specific incidents or issues you'd like to discuss in person, we highly encourage you to reach out to our People Team. We are always open to constructive dialogue. Once more, thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we wish you the very best in all your future endeavors.

Good benefits for a company this size Office in a good location with a good supply of snacks etc. International working environment

Lack of support & feedback Lack of experience from the management A LOT of things that still needs ”figuring out” for a company this size Recruiting/open roles/headcount seem not always been thought 100% through Poor communication on changes happening in the company New ideas poorly supported High turn around amongst employees they hire, usually from company’s initiative Values seem not always be in the core of the actions, even though they are highlighted all the time Hard to understand career progression/possibilities Pay / earning potential is average
