Pros

Open culture, congenial environment, an employer that respects personal time off, focus on efficiency rather than long hours.

Cons

The company is run out of the headquarters, and there are limited advancement opportunities outside the HQ. In order to advance, one has to spend considerable time in headquarters in Denmark, of which the country's tax regime (50-60% on income) which supports their generous welfare system can be prohibitive for a foreigner.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
