Pros

Excellent benefits package, good work environment, recent restructuring of upper management could potentially change the cons listed below, the world wind leader, produce excellent turbines (if too expensive).

Cons

Wind industry is struggling and Vestas has no diversification, agonizingly indecisive upper management, too much focus on documentation above producing a profitable product, good people are leaving in droves, upper management does not know how to communicate and instills no confidence (I hold out hope for the new management)

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.
