Pros

Vestas treats their employees really well. Excellent benefits, flex time, and there was a management culture that supported work/life balance and understood the importance of family obligations. This is what I saw from management in the US and Denmark.

Cons

Jobs at Vestas in the US can be difficult to hold on to if there are changes in US laws, subsidies, etc. Vestas seems to go through swings of large hiring followed by large layoffs. Working with Danish coworkers could be frustrating, all decisions were made by committee after lots of debate, which made it difficult to empower the employees located at satellite offices.

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.
