Pros

Vestas is a great place to learn about wind, renewables, how products and components work and to meet a lot of great people. They have an awesome onboarding system and really work to make sure you get trained in whatever area you need.

Cons

Layoffs started within 3 months of my hire date. The wind industry is not a stable career unless you are in the service technician category. They hired the best and brightest and laid them off without qualms. Although Vestas is a "global company" don't ever forget that it is a Danish company and when the going gets tough, everything goes back to Denmark.

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.
