Pros

Fair pay & challenging position. Most people/employees are friendly and willing to help out. The company does implement corporate values and strive to uphold them. They offer an anonymous employee surveys to help identify problems areas which are reported to upper management.

Cons

Even though they offer fair pay, the hours worked are very long and expected. Very little or no training is given. There is no life outside of work. In addition, you can expect favoritism, unnecessary drama and corporate politics (even though employees are expected to uphold corporate values). You will have a hard time in your career if you don't "play along". Those that are not favored are definitely shunned out and it will impact your advancement. Advancement opportunities are very slim. Most advances are done with a title and pay change but no change in actual work. Employee surveys do not seem to be reliable because employees who give a negative mark will be pointed out. Communication is lacking among departments which can present problems.

Pros

37 hours a week working hours and you can have flexible hours either come in late or early. If you are an international hired based in Copenhagen it will have more diverse people and great option of lunch menus (which is deductable from your salary). If you are an international hired based in Esbjerg than it will be the same as living in an oilfield campbase.

Cons

Before you decided to join, please considered for the 5th time because it will be a career suicide. Most of my international colleague decided not to put their time in this company as part of their resume. if you joined the company as international hired (or what they said expat) you still have to pay tax. Company does not pay for your medical or dental the country does and you better prepare to get in stuck with Danish medical system. Organisation is just to confuse to understand and no clear accountability or responsibility between department or business partners. Job description can be wide or it is only stating about activity per year without a clear understanding for goals. Project execution is weak in term of outcome quality, time deliverance and cost effectiveness (i.e. I have never seen an oil company that does not planned vs actual charts for drilling and completion day to day operation). SAP implementation is the worst things that happened. instead of build SAP around the business it is the other way around to built business around the SAP.
