Danfoss reviews

There is a high turnover in operations support staff. People leave due to poor leadership, expectations to be on constant call, low annual salary increase, and diminishing short term incentives. Support personnel are expected to attend international meetings at all hours of the day. Leadership is unable to communicate expectations to employees, then tell them they aren't meeting the expectations. There are no efforts to retain technical experts. The ceiling for career growth is very low.

Processes are improving, but technical leadership is lacking in a certain few departments. Team leads do not own their projects end to end, sometimes not well versed with key technical concepts and protocols. No support or safe-space to escalate critical issues from senior management either. Leaves a lot of people working in silos. Project management is sloppy. Little drive to improve technically, all too much reliance on a bread-and-butter product which currently reports major quality issues and field returns. A very serious issue is frequent broaching of political and religious topics which is very unsettling in a work environment. Management needs to strictly regulate this considering the diversity of the workforce and how folks of the minority beliefs can feel insecure and marginalized with what can be described as borderline proselytization - which sometimes occurs over lunches or coffee or even in the office space. It's even more troubling when it comes from direct higher-ups and leaves one wondering whether there is actual bias against them. Hence, the toxic culture remark in the headline.
