Universal Robots Response

Dear colleague We were very sorry to read this review. One of the things we are truly proud of at Universal Robots is empowering our employees. We have a lot of examples of colleagues being promoted and/or trying out different aspects of their field of work if they have a passion to do so. If you are in any way experiencing favoritism/racism and cannot discuss this with your manager please contact your local HR Business Partner or any other colleague in the HR team. This is a very serious matter and we have zero tolerance of favoritism/racism at UR. One final reply on you comment on disposing employees. It’s one of our primary strategic focus points to keep our high retention rates. We are making a lot of efforts continuously on this matter and all our employees are invited to propose ideas. We believe our employees are our greatest strength at Universal Robots. Kind regards, The HR team

Pros

Modern and inviting cafeteria facilities. Strong colleagues across teams who genuinely work hard to make things succeed despite the challenges.

Cons

The workload is significantly high and not aligned with available resources. Limited communication and low transparency from SMT, which creates unnecessary uncertainty across the organization. Frequent strategic shifts result in a reactive environment rather than a long-term, predictable direction. Too many critical tasks rest on a small group of employees, creating a real risk of burnout and future turnover among top performers. The parent company plays an outsized role in decision-making and has absorbed the most important positions, leading to heavy, old-fashioned operational structures. The culture is dominated by a “do more with less” mindset that limits innovation and renewal. The company needs a genuine strategic reboot, not another iteration of the same old approach.
