Thanks for the feedback and review. Over the last twelve months we made substantial investments for our existing colleagues. We are committed to lifelong learning and now have thousands of training courses available on a variety of technical skills, soft skills and leadership competencies. Additionally, we continue to focus on building a strong culture of empowerment and ownership. New this year are additional colleague events, new internal social networking tools and extended team meetings. We are sorry that our efforts have not met your expectations, but we hope you’ll stick with us as we continue our journey.

Flexible work hours Friendly people Good working Enrivonment

Cons

Sometimes disoriented goals Very slow pace to catch up with the latest technologies Lack of processes Poor facilities such as work spaces in some departments, no sport facilities like table tennis etc. Poor salary reviews and promotions structure. Emphasis is only on hiring new people, no care for current employees in some departments

Thank you for your feedback. You are right about the people and environment at Universal Robots – both are amazing. With our rapid growth, it has been difficult at times to keep pace with seating requirements using the current facilities. We continually evaluate our real estate needs. To address the needs, we opened several new sites in 2018 including an additional location in Odense, Denmark. Also, to ensure that our goals are aligned and transparent, we have instituted a strategic deployment process. Our leadership team sets specific organizational goals which cascade to actions for every department, job function and colleague within the firm. Thanks for taking the time to write this review and providing some specific action areas where we can focus. Thank you, too, for your ongoing contribution to Universal Robot’s success.

Pros

Great balance between work <> personal life Very cleaver colleagues

Cons

No product management/ownership Projects change scope very often Projects aren't really innovative but rather following current/recent past technologies IT Department limits the use of modern tools (e.g: no use of cloud tools) Although they say they use Agile, in reality, they use Waterfall methodology No bonus scheme based on performance (only for managers)

First we would like to apologize for the tardy reply and thank you for the feedback. We’re committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees. Our passion is to change the world one cobot at a time. The level of growth and change required to maintain our market position demands extreme agility – and sometimes our greatest asset is our ability to change direction and/or scope quickly. Communicating these changes to colleagues including the rationale and value of the change is key and an area for improvement. The past six months have definitely seen quite a few changes as we continued to grow our workforce and focused on key projects such as our recent product launch, e-Series. Continuing our position as an innovation leader in the cobot market is one of our highest priorities.
