Pros

Good benefits, cooked lunch! Great new office with additional staff perks Good work/life balance

Cons

Tend to over promise at interview but under deliver once employed. Poor management, non-competitive salaries at all. Progress in company heavily depends on being Danish, the business unit you work in, your manager or essentially who you know. Promotions are usually only within senior management. Middle management and support staff (admin, IT etc) have very little opportunities for career progression. Profess to have strong guiding principles but it's lacking in management decisions and processes.

Pros

Work life balance. Parental leave is great.

Cons

Not much advancement at all. The culture is almost too laid back where not many people advance unless you got in 20 years ago.
