FINN is Norway’s largest marketplace and was founded in 2000. Ever since, they have gained enormous popularity among Norwegians and today almost every Norwegian has a relationship with FINN, whether it’s to buy or sell products, looking for a house or a cabin, browsing cars or boats, or dreaming of the next holiday. In FINN, employees go to work every day to help people make smart choices for themselves and society.
What is it like to work for a well-known brand that plays a part in so many people’s lives? We had a chat with three employees to find out if it really is as great to work there as the rumors say.

Position: Business developer at Finn
How would you describe the culture in FINN?
I think FINN’s culture is pretty unique. Even though we are around 450 employees now, it feels like we are a family. When I started working in FINN over ten years ago, one of the first meetings with the team was a workshop with the HR department about what the FINN values meant to our team. I remember thinking that this was something they did every time there was a new team member. Of course, now I know that this is not the case, and we have revisited our values many times since then. I think this continuous work makes our culture so strong and is one of the reasons that I have stayed in FINN for ten years.
What is the absolute best thing about working at FINN?
The best «thing» about FINN is, without doubt, the people I work with. So many talented, kind, fun, and giving people. During the last year and a half, I have felt so grateful for working in FINN with all these amazing people. We have worked a lot but also gone for walks, played games, and even painted’n’sipped online. They are the reason I look forward to going to work every day and joining yet another video conference. And now I can’t wait to get back to the office and meet them all in real life again.

How would you describe the culture in FINN?
FINN has a culture where being helpful is at its core. I heard talk about this before starting, but I wasn’t prepared for how pronounced it actually was. Whoever you ask, you can always expect a smile and a helpful answer, regardless of how clumsy your question might be. In addition, you can find all sorts of hobbies and interests in FINN! So you can be sure that there’s a clique that’s just perfect for you, regardless of whether your interest is CS: GO matches (we’re entering The corporate league this year) or something completely different like “strikk-og-drikk” (knit’n’drink) or climbing.
What is the absolute best thing about working at FINN?
There are so many things, from interesting technical problems to solve, to well thought-out infrastructure with good developer experience (FIAAS), to the best canteen food ever. But the absolute best thing is your colleagues!
