Pros

Incredibly relaxed environment - you define your own tasks. Colleagues start leaving the office at 2:00pm. No consequence in most cases for underperformance or no performance at all.

Cons

No direction or guidance, let alone coaching. People scamble to invent loads of petty projects themselves just to keep their jobs. Performance not recognised. Silo culture. Awfully lacking leadership and competence in the organisation (something not understood in Danish culture perhaps). All about politics not real work. Jante law prevails.

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.
