Steer clear of IT Operations

Pros

Danfoss overall is a good company. Many areas are mature and highly effective.

Cons

IT Operations is a mess. And unless you live in Denmark, there's little chance to advance. Ineffective management that is trying to do too much too fast, without adding effective people. With all the mergers, the landscape is a mess and instead of focusing on shoring up the existing infrastructure and making it manageable, the expectation is that the 2 layers of support can resolve all operations issues, engineer new solutions, execute all the new projects, and perform required regular services and bringing the hodgepodge to a standard level.

Pros

There are no shortage of entertaining management moments throughout the week. It's like I am living in a Dilbert cartoon. The other day they made it so that our computers automatically open the corporate homepage in Internet Explorer every time we start our computers. Why? Because employee surveys tanked management for not communicating and managing from the top down. So, without any warning, mandate a change to "solve" the problem that impacts everyone's ability to do their job everyday. And I don't think anyone at the VP level gets how crazy that sounds.

Cons

DBS. Seriously, if you want to work for Danaher, go work for them. As long as you are going to put up with an insane productivity regime you might as well get to put Danaher on your resume and own some of their stock. Danfoss tries to be Danaher, but it comes off as campy and half-baked. DBS is really just a collection of poorly designed spreadsheets administered by Danes with a community-college level business education. All this for a privately held company - so it's not like there is a quarterly earnings report to worry about. It would be funny if anyone was bright enough to get the joke.
