Pros

Great travel opportunities. Lots of change - so if you like being able to move cross-functionally into different departments and fields, you can do this quite easily. Some really nice international teams to work with - my last department of 30 people had over 20 nationalities, which was really lovely to be a part of. If you work in middle management and above, you will be exposed to some large projects which span across continents, so good for your experience. There are also many problems within the company's processes and systems which, on a positive note, will expose you to many opportunities to develop fixes, solve problems and learn from people who are doing the same. There is a solid focus on process improvement and getting a number of greenbelts trained and released into the business.

Cons

Management culture is a problem. Limited diversity in terms of male:female in top management. Also limited amount of non-Danes in top management. Company is also experiencing numerous retrenchment processes over the years, largely due to middle and top management bureaucracy, and numerous business critical systems which don't communicate with each other. During my 7 years in the company, I experienced 3 large-scale retrenchments. Once is understandable, but this company continues to make the same mistakes during each cycle, without really learning from the issues. Unless you are high level management, they will not pay for your continued education in most countries, so be aware of that.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
