I, a 25 year old girl, was hired by Etteplan as an embedded software engineer. It is a consulting company. Knowledge of Finnish language was not required for this position. I was assigned to a project where there were only mid-age Finnish men. At our first daily meeting they hardly spoke English, and since I was someone who did not yet know the project and could not contribute to the discussion, they switched to Finnish at some point. At the next daily meeting they started speaking Finnish immediately. After that I complained to my team lead and he replied something like, “They are not used to speaking English.” At that point I checked the job description again to make sure that Finnish was not required. It wasn’t. I started looking for a new job less than a week after being employed there. I found a decent option after only two months and was more than happy to quit my probationary period in one day.
