Pros

One of the best parts of working for this company are the benefits, such as low-cost health insurance that provides good coverage and a nice match on the 401k. My position allows me to do a wide variety of tasks, which keeps the job interesting.

Cons

It is a sink-or-swim environment with little offered as far as training is concerned. There are questionable decisions made by plant management, such as closing the plant for two weeks in the summer; and then instituting mandatory overtime for all workers as the production schedule is not being met. Pay raises are annual, minimal and don't appear to be based upon performance.

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.
