Pros

Benefits, ability to grow, multiple career paths

Cons

Constant turnover leading to micro-management to no oversight at all. A lot of managers attempting to make names for themselves creating a lot of backstabbing so that they can attempt to advance. Managers typically advance into higher ranks on account of their ability to become close friends with Sr Directors though they have no customer relationship skills nor ability to manage KPIs. Most Managers rarely even go to their sites which leaves technicians doing their own thing, which leads to increased down turbines and upset customers. Directors are unaware as they only show up to locations announced, so the manager is able to come in and align their techs on what to say when Sr Leadership does arrive.

Pros

Vestas has been at the cutting edge of wind turbine technology for quite some time. They are industry leaders at the global level.

Cons

Culture has been eroding significantly over the past few years. Too many organizational changes, all with the focus on making the shareholders more 'happy,' to the detriment of the employees who have the actual ability to make the work happen. Profit is the only thing that matters at Vestas nowadays and, therefore, several regions that are seemingly less profitable than other are essentially left out to dry. There was always a huge amount of focus on the changing market characteristics, but nearly zero action to make internal changes, either to technology or commercial strategies, in order to improve competitiveness against other WTG OEMs.
