Pros

Decent wage , good benefits package , paid for all training

Cons

Parking is 1.3km from actual place of work Ground conditions are atrocious Lack of permanent lighting at night Huge knee deep "lakes " of water after rains Health and safety is hit and miss Drug and alcohol tests over minimal things No canteen like the island , almost like the fawley site is the forgotten about ugly sister of the Isle of Wight site. When we started had promises of training in Denmark , after starting no mention of it ever again. Ideas from people who actually do the work outside fall on death ears. Instead of spending money where needed they now go to spend money on dashcams . Holiday entitlement is crap too Comms units are awful and cause of many accidents but company won't improve

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.
