Expose the secrets of Helsinki
Dozens of cutting-edge companies call Helsinki home. Stay curious – you might end up doing something you didn’t even know existed. Prepare for giant leaps in your career!
You’re hired – and in great company
We’re generally not big on suits, ties or other fine formalities at work. In Helsinki, you can count on coming as you are.
When it comes to work culture, we’re flat (inside) out
In Helsinki, you can indeed have it all. There’s time to enjoy all of the above while still reaching new heights with your career – even the busiest bees take time to smell the flowers. According to a recent study, Helsinki is the third best city for work-life balance globally.
Work-life balance? Here, it’s no juggle
In Helsinki, it can be about both the journey and the destination. In a city of leafy bike paths, serene walkways, and a smooth public transport system, morning commutes can genuinely be the quality time of the day.
Stress-free morning commutes
Helsinki breathes the salty air of the Baltic sea. In a city built along a chain of islands and peninsulas, the opportunity to take a dip – or take the trail less traveled – is never far. One third of Helsinki consists of urban greenery.
A stone’s throw away from nature
Cozy nights at home are great, but going out to experience a city’s worth of creativity is even better. From visual arts to music and from highbrow to lowbrow, Helsinki is home to a lively cultural scene.
A city that keeps you on the move
Oddball architecture, nightless summer nights and icy water swims of the winter, urban sauna culture and a restaurant scene on the wild side of food. Just a few examples of things that give Helsinki its strange charm.
Embrace the wonderful Nordic quirks
Family-friendly, flexible work practices, top-performing schools, plenty of paid holidays, and a safe, equal, and inclusive society. In short, Helsinki works wonders for both you and your family.
