Exciting but Draining Workplace

Pros

There is a relatively flat hierarchical structure - innovation is celebrated, as long as you don't need outside support. The work is challenging and ever changing. Lots of opportunities to learn.

Cons

There is a disconnect between the Danish management and what is needed in the US. Most of the management is Danish and only in the US for 1-3 year stints, and with the leadership changes come the expected shifts in direction. A shortage in staff and resources across all teams - expect to work long hours. There is little respect for work-life balance.

US lost its culture :(

Pros

Danish CEO & leaders are excellent. (US management, not so much unfortunately).

Cons

Sadly, a culture of fear has developed (in the US) since new management was installed a few years ago. Became unclear if it was a workplace or a season of “Survivor.” US Chronic Care leader verbatim plagiarized (w/o credit) some Silicon Valley ‘thought leadership’ garble, put it on a PowerPoint slide, and proudly announced “this is our culture” … like a consulting robot with no actual ideas. A culture of fear was bred that trickled down, and frontline managers suffer for it. The US subsidiary has shed so many talented people recently due to toxicity, and new mid-level leaders who will throw anyone into a meat-grinder to pass blame if given an accurate read on something that doesn’t fit the narrative they want to hear, or tell upwards. Like the Russian Government, a yes-people culture develops as everyone is afraid to share bad news, even if it’s simply true and not anyone’s particular fault. Accurate reporting is stifled, which just makes it worse. The air cultivated like everything could collapse tomorrow is completely incongruous with this insanely high-growth & high-margin business. The misery was saddening - never used to be like that.
