Pros

I thought this was a different corporate culture since it is a company headquartered in Denmark. (US Hq is in Minneapolis, MN). I thought that they would value indididual efforts and that they would realize (like many european companies do) that the key to success and high productivity is employee happiness.

Cons

Upper management does not value hard work and do not reward loyalty. The Danes are just trying to achieve high profit margins. There is a disconnect between the unrealistic goals drafted by upper management in DK and the reality on the ground in the US. The direct result is alieanated and disenfranchised US employees (except for the Danes working in the US) and a company slowly loosing it's grip on the small market share that they currently hold.

Pros

They don’t micromanage, supervisors are always willing to help.

Cons

QA is an absolute mess, and they refuse to see the issue which affects everyone’s monthly bonus. If you value your mental health don’t work here, they will constantly talk to you about your “brand” or how you are being perceived if you speak up too much for their taste. They will ask for feedback but never address any issues. Your confidence will be tarnish when you work your butt off and your QA scores are always low, even people that are top tier and leaders within the dept can’t even get decent scores. Unless you are able to be hired by another dept, which that in itself is hard, you have nowhere to go, basically they “promote” you by doing the same job with more pay that comes with extra set of responsibilities while also having to meet your metrics because if not, no bonus.
