Pros

There are some nice, good people who work at Maersk. Flexible hours are provided, especially if you have to pick up children, go to a doctor's appointment, or attend school. You're allowed to work from home once a week. You can dress casually everyday. The office is located in a nice area where you get to enjoy nature and see deer, turtles, and all sorts of birds.

Cons

Unless you absolutely need a job or really want to work in the shipping industry, I would not recommend working at Maersk. This places sucks the life right out of you. From the very first day I started working at Maersk, all I heard were groans, sighs and cursing due to the frustration and anger from working there. The systems are extremely slow and the processes are so backwards that you can't efficiently do your work. Many times you have to do double work because you have to check the work of your overseas colleagues because they make mistakes left and right. You're drowning in emails and customer issues and the work keeps being piled on you. The pay is also extremely low.

Pros

Great work/life balance, excellent benefits for expecting moms and family, access to the larger company provides training and performance feedback

Cons

Promotions seem to be based on favoritism, very few female managers or people of color at the top, can be hierarchical

Pros

Good payment (I see this as a compensation), Work hours are collected and can be taken later (at least in Germany due to workers council), Fresh fruits once a week. Modern building in Hamburg.

Cons

There is no structure for new things, too much workload and too much overtime, information overkill by dozens of emails every day, general spirit is no good due to too many changes. There is coffee and water for free but the coffee is terrible (money can be saved for Maersk). Old fashioned ways of working. Everything takes ages and is over complicated. How customer service employees are measures (KPI‘s, etc.) is a bad joke as those KPIs not always make sense.
