Pros

If you are working in a technical domain you can learn a lot. And probably your position is quite secure since there are not many good engineers in this business, especially engineering domain. It seems the green energy and especially wind energy market will grow. So, probably there will be career prospects for the next 20-30 years. Compensations and benefits are not terrible for such a company. There is a chance to work with quite diverse and global teams. Mostly there is good work-life balance.

Cons

There are not many good career opportunities. Middle management is really bad. They hold their positions for so long mostly without any success. This can be seen when they think they are showing off by saying how long they are in this company without stating any specific success. Middle and senior management is in an echo chamber, they evaluate their own work by themselves. They are always successful. And they fire low-level workers if a thing doesn't go well.

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.
