Thanks for the feedback - that is really appreciated. It is true that in a limited number of our roles is an extensive amount of travelling. We do encourage you to reach out to your manager or HR Business Partner if it becomes to much. We all need some balance between time spend at and off work - no matter how much we love what we do :) Br. Stine /from Talent Acquisition

Thanks for the feedback and review. Over the last twelve months we made substantial investments for our existing colleagues. We are committed to lifelong learning and now have thousands of training courses available on a variety of technical skills, soft skills and leadership competencies. Additionally, we continue to focus on building a strong culture of empowerment and ownership. New this year are additional colleague events, new internal social networking tools and extended team meetings. We are sorry that our efforts have not met your expectations, but we hope you’ll stick with us as we continue our journey.

Cons

Sometimes disoriented goals Very slow pace to catch up with the latest technologies Lack of processes Poor facilities such as work spaces in some departments, no sport facilities like table tennis etc. Poor salary reviews and promotions structure.

Thank you for your feedback. You are right about the people and environment at Universal Robots – both are amazing. With our rapid growth, it has been difficult at times to keep pace with seating requirements using the current facilities. We continually evaluate our real estate needs. To address the needs, we opened several new sites in 2018 including an additional location in Odense, Denmark. Also, to ensure that our goals are aligned and transparent, we have instituted a strategic deployment process. Our leadership team sets specific organizational goals which cascade to actions for every department, job function and colleague within the firm. Thanks for taking the time to write this review and providing some specific action areas where we can focus. Thank you, too, for your ongoing contribution to Universal Robot’s success.
