MAERSK reviews

Very aggressive culture against those who are not Danes and against women alike. Women are sub-represented in general and they are appointed in low paying jobs. They have to struggle a lot to speak in men dominated meetings. They normally don't have a voice. If you are a woman and want to have any chance to succeed in Maersk Denmark you need to cut your hair short and behave like a man. Soren Skou is obsessed with himself. Each day there is a new video streaming on the Intranet with him looking down to his employees and giving tones of empty advises. When I was there I felt that the voice in Orwell 1985 novel is speaking to me. I felt like in a concentration camp in China. Mrs. Skou, let others talk as well! You are not a celebrity and employees don't expect you to be. Employees expect them to be happy and respected in the company you manage and they are not. Furthermore, management is petty and aggressive. You have no chance to grow no matter how much you work and dedicate. At my beginnings with the company I used to work during weekends as well. My enthusiasm sank after a year or so when I realized that my manager didn't even know what I was doing or even giving two cents on what I was doing. When I spoke up I was summarily dismissed. These are just bits of a dire time for me in Maersk Denmark. I hope someday this company will die out. They don't deserve to exist. They treat employees and customers alike with despise, arrogance, aggressively. Their understanding of leadership is that of imposing on others, obliging others, squashing others. Only few weeks ago an internal message on Intranet said : "Maersk from defensive to offensive" . This small nation and their Maersk business is at war with the world. Somebody wake them up and advise them that we are in 2021, the era of peace and collaboration, of inclusion and diversity.
