Business outlook
Pros
The company is huge and has strong financials, so there are lots of money for investments. If you like to work at a really big, global scale, Maersk is among the most attractive in the world. They are often in top 1-2 in each of their businesses with a very competitive mindset and some very skilled people running it. You will definitely be challenged at Maersk.
Cons
There is a big separation about expectations at executive level and middle-management level. Big lay offs have led to small "kingdoms" as people protect their turf. Lots and lots of politics, as the company only hires very clever and competitive people, who don't want to take responsibility. At group level, there is quite weak governance.
