Pros

One of the major pros to working with Vestas in the US is that their compensation (base pay and benefits) are very good. They are a young organization in the US and afford an opportunity for advancement.

Cons

While the compensation is good, it may be too good. They often hire people in at levels significantly above their capabilities because they do not know how to find the right talent for the organization. Additionally, there are few people in the salaried ranks who have worked for this type of large scale manufacturing and that can be a draw back for factory start-up especially when they need to mature organizationally very quickly.

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.
