Pros

Excellent engineers. Excellent product. Rewarding and valuable work in an important sector. Good physical working environment. Good opportunities for adding to and improving technical skills.

Cons

Unqualified management, poor advancement opportunities, Danish males hired or promoted over more qualified candidates. Good / hard work is punished rather than being rewarded. I was told when I left that I should take the experience off my resume because if future employers called Vestas HR to confirm that I had worked there, they would do everything in their power to prevent me from gaining future employment at another company. They seem to be making good on that promise. International employees should stay far, far away.

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.
