Very Poor career prospects

Business Outlook

Pros

Non managerial staff are quite friendly and ok to get along with, some projects are very interesting, but the chances of working on these are almost zero if you are non Danish

Cons

Low salary, very poor internal communications, projects / job opportunities are prioritized for Danish staff, too much focus on billability, rewards for professional and good performance are not rewarded, the company profile portrays a completely different persona when compared to the internal working environment, COWI operates very inefficient (time consuming) procedures and working practices. There's a saying 'Work Smarter, not harder' COWI does not operate this way
