Pros

The strategy is fantastic - they do an effort for the climate, world trade and diversity (the latter primarily outside Denmark). Compensation is fine, employee benefits good.

Cons

Terrible and biased management, who bring in friends and former colleagues to all senior position. Therefore no possibilities for promotions, unless you know the 'right people'. HR is a joke - they have no structure and a low skill level - usually when applying, you never hear back. Reorganizations are done often and no effort is put into reassigning people to new jobs internally. This review relates to my experiences in the Technology organization - it might be different in the 'real' business departments.

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.
