Pros

Very good starting vacation package, health premiums paid, and there were a few good people there (sure most of them jumped ship by now), think the good ends there. Ironic that the pros are more for the hourly workers, as the salaried side put in a lot more hours but got none of the extra benefits the hourly workers got.

Cons

They have no idea how to run a lean, efficient company. Will buy parts/equipment with good old boy system from family in Europe at much higher cost then they could get in US. Simple, easy things like this are what will be the end for this company. It cannot survive without huge margins and government subsidies. They are so used to wasting cash, they don't know how to be lean and efficient. Terrible leadership throughout the company, no such thing as lead by example....it is a "do as I say not as I do" company.

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.
