Great place to work.

Process technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, good leadership for the most part. You want to learn they will teach you. Good advancement if you put forth the effort. I started as temp on assembly line and when I left I was a process tech. Technology is advanced. Most leaders are great at getting input and involvement from the whole team. If you have an idea for improvement support staff will look into and implement if idea is a good one. Flexible with family issues. (Had health problems in my family and my leader always tried to accommodate me)

Cons

Pay scale could be better. Better bonus program. There was a few issues with HR following up an complaints. Especially rude behavior from other employees.

Great family company...struggling to balance employee autonomy with a centralized corporate strategy.

Sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good mobility/career options. Good work/life balance. Great product back by consistent innovation and a strong brand name.

Cons

Recent move towards centralized marketing & distribution strategy (Refrigration Controls Division and Power Electronics Division) has demotivated entrapreneurial employees and managers by stripping them of autonomy, damaged existing customer relationships by closing direct accounts and cramped margins.

Silo culture, micromanagement, awful lack of leadership

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Incredibly relaxed environment - you define your own tasks. Colleagues start leaving the office at 2:00pm. No consequence in most cases for underperformance or no performance at all.

Cons

No direction or guidance, let alone coaching. People scamble to invent loads of petty projects themselves just to keep their jobs. Performance not recognised. Silo culture. Awfully lacking leadership and competence in the organisation (something not understood in Danish culture perhaps). All about politics not real work. Jante law prevails.
