Pros

Great colleagues. Work-life balance is okay. The industry is interesting. Career depends a lot on who ends up being the direct and above management, which could be good or bad.

Cons

Every year, layoffs during the winter. Bottom-up feedback is listened to very rarely. Middle management can be incompetent, and no one cares, very political. Diversity is low. No public pay ranges or career ladders. Coffee is bad.

Pros

Vestas has been at the cutting edge of wind turbine technology for quite some time. They are industry leaders at the global level.

Cons

Culture has been eroding significantly over the past few years. Too many organizational changes, all with the focus on making the shareholders more 'happy,' to the detriment of the employees who have the actual ability to make the work happen. Profit is the only thing that matters at Vestas nowadays and, therefore, several regions that are seemingly less profitable than other are essentially left out to dry. There was always a huge amount of focus on the changing market characteristics, but nearly zero action to make internal changes, either to technology or commercial strategies, in order to improve competitiveness against other WTG OEMs.
