I recognized the company name. Almost two years ago during occupational/workspace safety and health training (outside the Finland, where Vincit is) it was brought in as a good example of corporate culture: https://bestworkplaceineurope.com/CultureAuditEn.pdf https://bestworkplaceineurope.com/CultureAuditEn.pdf This document seems to be from 2016. I am really interested in how has this evolved since then. Would you mind sharing your thoughts?

All I’ve heard is they have a misogynistic culture. As an example: https://caterina.net/2019/03/29/appalled-by-sexism-in-the-valley-meet-the-tech-bros-of-finland-2/ https://caterina.net/2019/03/29/appalled-by-sexism-in-the-va...

  It gets worse. Vincit is known for putting sexist jokes into their press releases, external communications–even in their financial statements. These have been reported by the press: Their jokes are juvenile. ”Kympin pitäjä” which means “great village” turns into “pimpin kytäjä” or “pussy place”. The Finnish Stock Exchange criticized them for this, but their response was to tell them to “lighten up a little”. On their quarterly results video they again made some appalling puns: ”surkea töihinottaja” became “obscene blowjob” and refers to the only woman on the management team–the head of HR!–as “cunt babbles”. People in Silicon Valley know that a CEO would be fired for that, but weirdly, nothing happened. Yes, excellent culture. Sounds real pleasant. Pass.
