Pros

The people overall are true to the company values, so open, keen to share, willing to go the extra mile for colleagues and clients and professional. It’s also quite unique in terms of the technical work which is very physics-based with lots of signal processing, and you can get a real sense of achievement because your work does have direct real world impact. If you are someone who enjoys learning and thrives on being active and having multiple things on the go, then you will enjoy the mix of long-term and short-term project work and variety of things to do and learn. On-site canteen, car park and bike shed. Private medical and dental.

Cons

There is a huge amount to learn which can be a little overwhelming to start with. Also this is not a job if you want to be comfortable! Although innovation is incentivised, project deadlines and the day to day means it can be difficult to find the time to be a bit creative if its not directly impacted on your project. The work is mainly oil and gas although the company is trying to diversify.

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.
