Pros

If you are a Finnish man coming from Aalto University School of Technology the management will like you and push you forward

Cons

Foreigners and women are put to the sideline and are not really given fair chances to grow in the company. The top management is also prone to holding grudges if you are not compliant with whatever they say. Opinionated people are pushed out of the company. There is also plenty of subjectivity when promoting people and the salary level is not really competitive.

Thank you for taking the time to review Sievo, and I’m sorry that your experience has been such a negative one. I hope you will discuss with your manager and / or with a People team representative about what would improve your experience with us. It is true that we have room to improve the amount women and non-Finnish people in managerial positions, but fortunately we have made progress in this field in the past couple of years. This is an important topic that we need to keep monitoring and improving. Our aim has been and will be to promote people based on demonstrated skills and suitability for each position, not based on any non-relevant factors such as gender or nationality. -Anna / Sievo

Pros

Solid product, some good people, generally happy customers and good market standing

Cons

The company has deteriorated over the last several years. There is rampant favoritism enabling people to operate with different standards. Certain negative behavior is tolerated depending on what someone’s relationship with management is. They keep salaries extremely low compared to the market so people are burning out with nothing to show for it. Many mangers don’t have the skills required to manage. Vital requests will often be ignored if managers don’t want to deal with issues. What was once a supportive start up environment has devolved into a middle management heavy bureaucracy. There is very little upside anymore - the trade off used to be that you may take a slightly below market salary in exchange for an excellent culture. Today, that bargain no longer exists.
