Pros

Vestas treats their employees really well. Excellent benefits, flex time, and there was a management culture that supported work/life balance and understood the importance of family obligations. This is what I saw from management in the US and Denmark.

Cons

Jobs at Vestas in the US can be difficult to hold on to if there are changes in US laws, subsidies, etc. Vestas seems to go through swings of large hiring followed by large layoffs. Working with Danish coworkers could be frustrating, all decisions were made by committee after lots of debate, which made it difficult to empower the employees located at satellite offices.
