"If you are proactive, Vaisala will be there to support you and take you as far as possible. I work completely independently, with clear objectives and good communication with my manager. After 13 years, my colleagues have become friends and I still appreciate this atmosphere where we are not just numbers and there is mutual trust.’"

Team rituals and events
When you join VAISALA France, you will be based at the Saclay plateau near Paris or the Sofia Antipolis technology park near Nice. These are ideal locations for innovation and technology.
Our modern buildings offer a warm and welcoming environment.
Every month, we strengthen our bonds by gathering for Matinales, a time for discussion and to quickly catch up on everything that is happening in the company.
And to make things even more enjoyable, our Staff Committee regularly organises events (game nights, Christmas parties, summer barbecues...)!
