Pros
*In recent years Coloplast has done a great job at looking for ways to hire from within and increase the training for transitions (EX. new manager training for those who have recently been promoted to a manager role). *My experience with management has been very open and if you need to say something, then say it. Transparency and feedback is always welcome as long as it's provided in a good way. They only time I've seen it taken poorly is when the feedback was given in a negative way (ex. aggressive or disrespectful) *Very fast pace environment that changes frequently, not good for someone who doesn't like change or isn't able to adapt quickly. *Coloplast seems to really care about the customers and well as the employees. I know if the Danish culture, it’s shown in different ways but I believe the Danes are working at ensuring they show appreciation in a way that works for the US employees. * Coloplast has a number of temporary employees and they treat them like there are full time employees instead of like lepers (I’ve been a temp at other companies and I was also treated like I wasn’t part of the company; this is not the case at Coloplast).
Cons
*Work/life balance is what you make it. Coloplast appreciates hard work and it seems to be part of the Danish culture to take time off when needed. The managers don’t disapprove of time off but it’s also not part of the culture to encourage taking time off. *When converting from temp to full time employee, there can be a long conversation time. But the hiring manager is usually open about what the hold up is about.
