Company still doesn't understand that doing business in the US is different than Europe and rest of world.

Pros

Benefits are very good. Multi-national company with strong presence across the globe. Not a good presence here in the US.

Cons

Decision-making is pretty much through Finland. If you work in the US its tough to get things done.

Business Outlook

Pros

Expectations are not very high, and as long as you're willing to accept below-average compensation you can coast for years. You can attend internal training regularly, and some of it is pretty good. Benefits are average or slightly better.

Cons

Reorganizations every few months; can't finish anything before plans are changed. Schedules are missed because of constant changes in requirements. Above a certain level, anybody is permitted to "rethink the whole approach" and does. Thus we're two years late and still slipping.
