Couple of years back I worked in Saint-Petersburg’s office of one Finnish company, operating in nuclear industry. I had a chance to sneak a peek at the Finnish corporate culture.

As my first full-time job I was hired by Rainmaker to do customer service. Posti had outsourced their customer service to this company and as such my duties were centered around tracking parcels.
