Engaged Employer

Not a bad place to work if you are a slacker. If you are a good worker you might get canned after a few months. - Anonymous employee Vestas Wind Systems Employee Review

Pros

The benefits package was hard to beat, Fully paid health, vision,dental. Also flex spending and adoption plans available. Atmosphere was great they didn't bother you if you did your job.

Cons

Terrible spending habits and they would throw money on problems to make them dissapear. Managed their assets(People) poorly, training was good but they often concentrated on deadwood rather than the employees that were making and saving them money. They also did alot of knee jerk reactions to solve problems that could have been solved by someone with a clear head and for alot cheaper. Treated the "Danes" alot better than the American counterparts, most of the time the technical manuals were so out of date that experienced personnel in the feild often kept things going with their personnal experience and then were fired or "layed off" leaving all the inexperienced, Slackers, clock watchers to man the sinking ship.

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.
