Pros

Lots of autonomy in the states Solid pay and benefits Remote

Cons

Huge turnover this year. 24% global layoffs but lots of attrition in between the layoffs in roles that have gone unfilled. New CEO has made some really crass comments about work ethic and employees on the Denmark team… criticizing coffee breaks and work hours. Majority of people who climb and get promotions are sycophants. Just look at the segments team. No one can point to a single success but somehow they keep rising. They just laid off the barista who only worked 2 days a week… business can’t be so bad you have to lay off a part time barista, can it?

Company lacking Strategy and humanity

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly colleagues Good quality canteen

Cons

Lack of strategy and transparency from leadership Favoritism and heavy office politics The management team encourages overtime and doesn't support work-life balance Chaotic and a lack of job safety: 2 massive layoffs and 7 smaller firing rounds in 2025. The entire leadership team, including the CEO, is replaced by US leadership from the mother company.
