Pros
-Billund is a great hub for travel around Europe -Two sides are great: design and production. See below for the "middle". -The product is loved around the world, so your affiliation with the company will always be "cool"
Cons
-Promotions happen because of company longevity, not talent. Be prepared to see people get promoted into roles that do not relate to their knowledge or education, but they are now in charge of something important... -Your hiring manager will be a local, so you shouldn't trust what they say about life, money, schools, or anything else related to being an expat -The company does not care about poor performance, so be prepared to do extra work for people that refuse to work, deliver late, or don't deliver at all. -People Operations & Development is a joke. From their in-house people to their contracted "support", get ready to roll your eyes or be angry. -Being in the middle of Danish farmland means your coworkers do not really have other places to work in the area, so the good and bad employees will always stick around. -Regional offices often do their own thing, meaning any guidance or expectations from the headquarters will be completely ignored or common sense practices will be tossed in favor of minimal returns. -Environmental improvements are minimized by an increasing number of products (and larger products) made each month. This may tip in favor of actually being green at some point, but it is a fast moving treadmill and success is too far off. -Fancy HQ building is not actually great for business, it is more like a trophy to the corporate business. Need to have a meeting? Too bad, dozens and dozens of rooms are booked in advance. Need a quiet spot? Too bad, people are now meeting in all sorts of other spaces. Need to think? Too bad, people are trying to talk over each other while meeting at their desks or on Teams calls for hours on end.
