Pros

Great intentions, freedom to determine own tasks, environmentally friendly products, good colleagues, work that is inspiring.

Cons

Young company, doesn't know how to create and implement strategy. Management has little control of the business. Lots of silos and jealous guarding of territory. Could use better information sharing. Promotions and firings have more to do with politics than performance. Gets away with mismanagement of employees because their green product makes them an attractive employer from the outside.

Pros

Vestas has been at the cutting edge of wind turbine technology for quite some time. They are industry leaders at the global level.

Cons

Culture has been eroding significantly over the past few years. Too many organizational changes, all with the focus on making the shareholders more 'happy,' to the detriment of the employees who have the actual ability to make the work happen. Profit is the only thing that matters at Vestas nowadays and, therefore, several regions that are seemingly less profitable than other are essentially left out to dry. There was always a huge amount of focus on the changing market characteristics, but nearly zero action to make internal changes, either to technology or commercial strategies, in order to improve competitiveness against other WTG OEMs.
