Poorly run company with weak management

Pros

Vestas pays decently well for the Portland market, medical is fully paid for, and has nice facilities in the Pearl District.

Cons

Vestas has very poor management both in Denmark and in the US. They are very poor at business basics such as process, procedures, documentation, and controls. Management in Denmark and the US can't seem to face these facts and have been ineffective at making any kind of meaningful change in the culture. As a result of being unwilling and unable to change in an increasingly competitive global market, the company continues to struggle year after year. Vestas has very good, highly paid people doing menial tasks 60% of the time. So for any professional with experience at a well-run company it will be an excercise in futility to work there.
