      Management loves Aalto, diversity and being startupy is just a facade. Don’t fall for this trap. - Consultant Sievo Employee Review

      Pros

      Great colleagues Kudos to sales, the only great asset. Great stepping stone right after Aalto

      Cons

      1. Management has to approve every decision and even wants to be highly involved in all matters including product development, why don’t they just focus on growing the company, selling more? 2. They promote a person straight out of school vs someone who’s been an expert in his field for 4+years and clearly rockin’ it. Why? That’s because the person is from Aalto? 3. The product really sucks, it’s old technology, they talk of big data but it’s actually small data. If you want to learn and get hands on the best technology look somewhere else before your other colleagues from other company leave you behind in tech skills. 4. Great place to work? It is because it’s Helsinki central and also they send employees outside Finland for a three day retreat. That’s about it folks. 5. If you an easy agreeable person they’ll like you there, if you question the status quo and want to look into innovative and clearly implementable ideas then you’ll get a cold shoulder. 6. Some management team members need more training on management and leadership.

      I am sincerely sorry for the negative feelings that are reflected in your review. To be honest, this review was really painful to read. Yes, all members of our management team definitely need to learn and improve all the time, so that we can keep Sievo on our path of profitable growth even in the future. It is true that people at Sievo are not promoted based on service years, and that we have been able to provide quick career advancement for people who have demonstrated exceptional skills while working at Sievo. Thank you for taking the time to review, even though it is obvious that you were not satisfied at Sievo. I wish with all my heart that you have become happy in the company you currently work in. 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.
