Pros

Colleagues are very nice and helpful. Good work-life balance in Denmark office, with a lot of flexibility.

Cons

Bad management - they are laying off good people in order to stay competitive and still expect to grow. Talk a lot about diversity, inclusion and sustainability, but that’s all talk.. there’s no concrete action. Will definitely not recommend to a friend to a friend or go back.

Pros

If you have a chance to work for them, take it. They were a dream job for me and a fantastic working experience. They no longer do their credit and collections in the US, they moved it right at the time Covid hit and left several of us with severance. That was not the US part of the company's decision, but the Denmark Corporate office. They offer interesting things I have never seen at other companies, check out their website.

Cons

No more job in the US, wish it would be moved back. The 'con' would be that this is a risk that is taken when you work for an international company I guess. Glassdoor will not let me put 2020, when we originally were let go. and I can't vouch for the career opportunities at present. The opinions here are those when I was working there.
