Pros

Promotes a greener planet by developing sustainable energy solutions.

Cons

Vestas management is a white, Danish, old boys club. If you aren't a member of that club, you do not get advancement opportunities. The company claims to be international, but the only culture they see as valid is Danish. Things like financial responsibility, cost control, minimizing operational cost, and thinking about things from the customer's perspective are non-existent or a distant second.

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.
