Pros

Excellent benefits and pay, but that's about it.

Cons

Absolutely the worst employment experience of my life. Served under the most horrible Factory Manager ever, with a serious superiority complex. 7 days a weeks 12, 13 sometimes 15 hours a day for over a year and a half, then just like that they close the factory and spit you out on your backside. Even with positions I was qualified for at the other location, I was tossed out like the trash with no support. Working at this company was the single worst professional experience of my life. Run far, far away from this company as fast as you can.

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.
