Pros

Good bonuses Good colleagues Good culture

Cons

No Factory Manager, No Production Lead to consult with. Director position been interim for above position but nothing good happen. Foreman has to do managers job. If not do, they will be scold and demerit. Director who interim the manager positions has been biased towards lowly workers. No respect has been shown towards the operators. All leaders must do side job as people manager since no human resources in house. Speak up platform is no use for anonymous since direct superior will know what we write and whom we write about. Factory Manager has resigned for 6 months and Production Lead has resigned for 1.5 years. Until today, this position has not been filled yet. Latest job post has been cancelled without notice of any reasons to leaders and employee. Director who interim, only available at factory for few days in a month just to sign purchase order. Not doing the managers job as required. Director who interim has trust issues towards employee. They make the job like competition that they must win in every conversation.

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.
