Pros

Good colleagues Market-leading technology Decent canteen They keep paying me

Cons

Toxic management that spend too much time playing student politics and seem to believe that they are morally superior by trying to bring about societal change. This is used as a facade for their lies and discriminatory practices. Meanwhile back in the real world this is a company treading water that will never escape its massive debts. They have tried all they can to abandon oil and gas but nothing has worked and now they are going back to what they know but with a workforce that is now disillusioned, confused and lacking motivation. A new CEO with a clear vision and strategy is desperately needed.

Pros

Viridien is a great company to work for, with a positive and professional working environment. The company has a strong international footprint, a diverse mix of nationalities and backgrounds, and a good balance of technical depth and business ambition. Colleagues are friendly, collaborative, and highly capable, and the leadership team is generally accessible and open to discussion. The work can be challenging and intellectually interesting, especially for people who enjoy technical, global, and client-facing environments.

Cons

Career progression could be much clearer and more structured. Promotion paths, development plans, and expectations for advancement are not always easy to understand, which creates uncertainty for employees who want to grow within the company. Salaries are also slightly below market average in some areas, and compensation should remain competitive to retain strong talent. Like many global technical companies, priorities can also shift quickly, so clearer communication and consistency would help.
