Pros

Benefits: Private health insurance, free cell phone and internet. If you possess an average talent you will have an easy time getting along there.

Cons

The company operates with a discretionary bonus scheme, which makes your bonus more a result of how much your manager likes you rather than your performance. A lot of key people has left the firm. The company puts more importance on you clocking in facetime, rather than achieving results. They will attempt to start you off with a low base salary, but be very wary of this as your salary growth is pretty much frozen once you sign the contract. There is only a few skilled people to learn from, and they do not stick around for long. There is also a lot of office politics going on, and it does not seem like upper management has a clear vision for the firm. The living costs and taxation in Denmark quickly cuts into your salary. If you are serious about your career you should consider something else.

Pros

The parent company, Equinor, offers good benefits.

Cons

Only Danes are considered "normal" people; people of other nationalities are treated like slaves and are not provided with a fair competitive environment. Moreover, this company will use every possible tactic to withhold the bonuses you are entitled to. Therefore, if you're considering joining one of its overseas branches and you're not Danish, think carefully.
