      Pros

      Maersk is proud to be the world's largest shipping company. If you like to learn how to run a global company, this company is the great starting point in your career. I believe it has one of the world's best HR development programs that could help you to advance your career, either within Maersk or in other companies. Many of my colleagues in many countries were recruited aggressively by other big multi-national firms. Highly recommended!!

      Cons

      If you didn't join the company as a management trainee, your career growth may be limited. It's not always the case but non-management-trainee employees rarely become a senior position. Moreover, during the recruiting process, you'll be required to do personality test which will be used very seriously for hiring decision and for your entire career in Maersk. Although it does helps management to find the right man for the right job, too much focus on it may be harmful.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Security, salaries - compared to other firms in the shipping business, colleagues, young and dynamic environment, expatriate contracts available

      Cons

      no clear idea about the direction to be followed; lowering productivity due to implementation of very bad information systems; creation of useless managerial roles; complete inadequacy of human resources management; no incentive to value creation; no customer care; massive worldwide staff rotation without meaning or advantages for the organization; not effecctive training

      Danish when it's best.

      Systems manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The way they do businness is just awesome. No fuzz, no fancy LEAN management ideas, no six sigma and crap like that. It's the Danish way all the way (this is your job, you need this finished by this and that date.. How you get it done is your own problem, but just do it right.) There's a great team spirit, and people are proud of working here. The food is magnificent, the offices are big and well-lit, no flexible office, good furniture, free fruit, lunch and breakfast.

      Cons

      It's hard to destinguish between top-level managers and normal employees, since we all wear shirts and ties :)
