Business Outlook

Pros

Great atmosphere. Company values are clear, emphasizing sustainable growth- both in terms of products as well as employees. Work/life balance is a top priority- many (especially with families) leave early and work from home in the evenings. High growth, allowing rapid advancement and new opportunities abroad. Very supportive environment.

Cons

Can be difficult at times due to the preference for speaking Danish, although this differs between business units.
