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.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
