Pros

The products and the people. Such a broad and diverse community across the Nordics and growing to include colleagues around the world. The range of products is huge and the focus on delivering specific customer project needs in every vessel remains a challenge in a cost competitive world. Great opportunity to move around the global business if mobile and eager for that challenge.

Cons

There remains a tension between the Aero standardised process oriented way of doing things and the more fluid Nordic and Marine methods. This is seen in the drive towards management structures that do not always recognise the value of older organisations. Some of this is necessary as the company attempts to globalise its production and supply chain base. A strong bureaucracy exists and the insistence on creating tension through the matrix of functional and line management leads to very slow decision making and a lack of ownership in some areas.

Working with great people makes such a difference day to day – it's good to hear that's been a real part of your experience. We hear you on internal progression – career growth can feel different for everyone, and we know we've still got work to do to make development paths clearer. Feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.
