Pros

Danfoss overall is a good company. Many areas are mature and highly effective.

Cons

IT Operations is a mess. And unless you live in Denmark, there's little chance to advance. Ineffective management that is trying to do too much too fast, without adding effective people. With all the mergers, the landscape is a mess and instead of focusing on shoring up the existing infrastructure and making it manageable, the expectation is that the 2 layers of support can resolve all operations issues, engineer new solutions, execute all the new projects, and perform required regular services and bringing the hodgepodge to a standard level.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent PTO and benefits, friendly coworkers

Cons

Slow moving in central IT function, many decisions are made by committee, which slows the process way down. Compensation is below average. I have received promotions every 1-2 years for the last 5 years, but advancement in compensation has been very poor. At best it took 10 months to receive a 10% raise commensurate with my promotion. On the worse end, I received almost no salary increase despite my manager, their manager and their manager (our department head) approving the proposed raise.
