Pros

Interesting product & industry Great team in Denmark

Cons

Too many changes when it comes to strategy, objectives. Hiring process is too easy, therefore they hire incompetent people not able to perform basic tasks & pass all the responsability on their employees. They do not pay attention to discrimination, offensive vocabulary, therefore it creates a very toxic environment. Do not expect to grow profesionally at Ur!

Pros

Cantine food, cantine food, food.

Cons

No culture of quality. no commitment to continuous improvement from management. no training plan. very shallow on boarding. company is not yet ready for setting up a supply chain quality management system thus there is no need for supplier quality management. Very shallow communication among the departments. Very shallow know how on tools used throughout the organization. Very vulnerable product quality management system. Not a multiculturally-multinationally ready environment. Very shallow engineering know how. Immature engineering documentations and still the supply base is intended to be shifted to APAC while the PQM is not yet supported sufficiently by engineering documentations and contracts. The product is over-marketed within and outside the company for what it actually is.
