We are a growing, open source company

During the nine years that I have worked at Vaadin, I have had the opportunity to investigate and deal with the most modern technologies and trends, attend and speak at events, and spend some time working on other open-source projects. At Vaadin, you are also always surrounded by smart and fun people. Vaadin has absolutely the biggest concentration of talented people I have ever come across. Also, the level of transparency at Vaadin is amazing; information is shared openly and everyone is able to get involved in planning and bringing their own ideas to the table.

Working at Vaadin, I have full support from my colleagues and management to create a balance between work and life. And the working environment encourages me to make life-changing decisions without having to worry about work. Oh, and Vaadin has flexible working culture at its best. The company already had this culture even before the pandemic. Vaadin delivered my office corner to my home. It’s something, isn’t it?

Since the beginning, I’ve been impressed by the total freedom, openness, and trust that employees have here at Vaadin. On day one, when I arrived at the office I had all the equipment ready that I had asked for in order to work effectively. During the first weeks I met everyone including the CEO and felt really welcomed to the company. I also took note that people were very punctual which I took as a good sign that they care for others and don’t want to waste time.

Exciting, collaborative, and entrepreneurial - that’s how I would describe working at Vaadin. Each Vaadiner is encouraged to take ownership of what we do. Not just owning the solution to our daily tasks but also taking ownership of how, when, and where we work. It’s rare to find a company of this size that places so much trust in its employees and allows us to be autonomous. However, we can always turn to a colleague whenever we need support or guidance..

For me, working in the Sales team at Vaadin has been extremely rewarding and a great way to get involved in cutting edge technology. Especially interesting is the fact that I am getting in touch with many leaders in various fields and areas within different industries. The dynamic and fast-paced nature of this job provides me unlimited learning opportunities, while the team-oriented environment allows me to grow together with my colleagues. This helps us in the sales team to motivate each other to be successful and also to keep up with new technologies, which is a big part of working here. Vaadin is known for its innovative software that allows customers to create custom user experiences with ease. So all of these benefits make Vaadin a great place to build a successful career.
