Pros

Can't think of any, sorry

Cons

They call Aker a "family", always wary of a company that thinks they can pretend you're a family, usually means they work you too hard for little gain In it for themselves, lining their own pockets Low salary, especially for loyalty Too top heavy (men) Meetings outside of working hours

Pros

Everyone, and I mean everyone, is so talented at what they do and the most accommodating to help in any way they can. Aker has created a friendly, community-spirited environment that is a complete pleasure to work in. It’s rare to find a place where high-level expertise and genuine kindness go hand-in-hand.

Cons

The bar for quality is very high, so it’s not a place where you can just "coast", you have to be comfortable being challenged. Additionally, because the culture is so collaborative, the consensus-building process can sometimes slow down momentum.

Pros

Working at Aker is an incredibly rewarding experience. The leadership team genuinely cares about employee well-being and professional growth. There’s a strong culture of collaboration and I’ve always felt supported in taking on new challenges. The workplace atmosphere is very positive and motivating with colleagues who are not only talented but also kind and approachable - including the CEO. It’s refreshing to be part of a team that’s forward-thinking and genuinely passionate about making a difference - I feel fortunate to work for a company that care so much.

Cons

I have nothing bad to say
