Pros
- A relatively good place to kick-start your career.
- You have a certain level of autonomy to influence technical decisions.
- Had been quite stable until the recent 2 rounds of layoffs.
- Teammates are nice.
- Standard Finnish company benefits (commuting, phone, recreational, STIP bonus,...)
Cons
- Career progression is nearly non-existent. Management seems not to have a clear vision for the product, nor to facilitate career growth.
- Since the roadmap for career progression is poor, expect wages to stagnate.
- Overall, Helvar is a good company for someone who wants to kick-start their career or who is looking for coasting until retirement.
