Pros

If you want a job where you’ll not be challenged and like to be told what to do and how to do it, this is the one for you. You’ll get paid a high salary to be a slave to the Finnish Leadership Team.

Cons

Most of the mid to senior jobs at Helvar are missold. I am part of a recruitment campaign of approx 10 staff, mainly sales who were promised the right support, training and opportunities to grow. However the LT (Leadership Team) who are all Finnish, will tell you what to do and how to act in meetings. You will have no power to think on your own. Other main issues are; - High Politically Charged Environment due to members of the LT who are “friendly” with the Owners of the company - Wide staff unhappiness due to interview processes showing a company they want to be rather than actually are - The Job description, role, benefits and sales area changed 3 times in last 12 months.
