Pros

Strong commitment to sustainability and clean energy. Opportunities to work with global teams and advanced technologies. Good intentions around diversity and women empowerment. Many hardworking employees who genuinely care about the company’s success

Cons

The “Operational Reset” feels more like a buzzword than a meaningful initiative; cost-saving measures often lack credibility among employees. Extremely top-heavy structure with too many Managers, Specialists, Directors, VPs, and SVPs—many having very few reportees. Instead of optimizing at the leadership level, restructuring efforts often affect hardworking employees lower in the organization. Recognition practices can sometimes feel biased—empowerment initiatives should not overshadow merit, effort, or performance. Frequent comparisons with competitors despite hiring employees for different roles and expectations. Communication from leadership can feel disconnected from operational realities.

Pros

Vestas has been at the cutting edge of wind turbine technology for quite some time. They are industry leaders at the global level.

Cons

Culture has been eroding significantly over the past few years. Too many organizational changes, all with the focus on making the shareholders more 'happy,' to the detriment of the employees who have the actual ability to make the work happen. Profit is the only thing that matters at Vestas nowadays and, therefore, several regions that are seemingly less profitable than other are essentially left out to dry. There was always a huge amount of focus on the changing market characteristics, but nearly zero action to make internal changes, either to technology or commercial strategies, in order to improve competitiveness against other WTG OEMs.
