Metso allows for hybrid work, making work-life balance more flexible and easier to handle. The organization is full of approachable experts and the company invests in the development of its people. The food at the restaurant is top class.

Cons

The office can be crowded some days and it can be hard to find a place to sit.

Don't walk the walk nor talk the talk

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work/life balance. Pay is ok yet HR and management are not genuinely transparent in salary ranges and grade levels for the role.

Cons

Management & Executive Levels are not paying attention to the real issue at hand which are operational protocols and best practices. Merged too quickly from Metso to Metso:Outotec without detailed planning. Frontline workers are not motivated and lazy unproductive workers are not held accountable. Management has no backbone nor direction. Mainly ego driven not solution focused. Solutions offered from employees are not taken seriously nor implemented especially from Outotec side. Management has advised that over 80% of good solutions offered by employees will NOT be considered. Why? That is pure stupidity. Outotec had good protocols and business models in place which was never genuinely under consideration. It was not a merger but a hostile takeover.
