Pros

Good work-life balance in Denmark + flexible time. Good salary for Denmark (local contract) so overall purchase power is very descent compared to other EU countries.

Cons

The company is shrinking. Big hopes to grow the business have vanished for several reasons: inability to grow in-organically, failure in exploration projects and recent shift in Group's strategy resulted in these big hopes to crumble. Opportunities to develop are virtually inexistent. Middle management is technically weak and lacks of leadership.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
