Pros

There is a relatively flat hierarchical structure - innovation is celebrated, as long as you don't need outside support. The work is challenging and ever changing. Lots of opportunities to learn.

Cons

There is a disconnect between the Danish management and what is needed in the US. Most of the management is Danish and only in the US for 1-3 year stints, and with the leadership changes come the expected shifts in direction. A shortage in staff and resources across all teams - expect to work long hours. There is little respect for work-life balance.

Pros

At Coloplast, one of the key strengths is its global scale and diversified portfolio across multiple divisions. The company is particularly well established and highly respected in the ostomy space, with strong brand recognition and a solid reputation among clinicians and healthcare systems

Cons

Limited access to key contracts within the Advanced Wound Care (AWD/WTR) segment, creating barriers to growth and competitiveness * Product pricing not consistently aligned with perceived clinical value or market positioning * Ongoing quality concerns reported with foam dressings, impacting confidence in the portfolio * Lack of visible acknowledgment or accountability from leadership regarding field challenges * Perception of misalignment between field feedback and leadership response, with concerns not always addressed transparently * Limited cross-functional support for sales teams; heavy reliance on field reps to gather insights without sufficient internal analytical or evidence-based backing * Missed opportunities to provide structured, data-driven support to strengthen customer conversations and value messaging
