Pros

37 hours a week working hours and you can have flexible hours either come in late or early. If you are an international hired based in Copenhagen it will have more diverse people and great option of lunch menus (which is deductable from your salary). If you are an international hired based in Esbjerg than it will be the same as living in an oilfield campbase.

Cons

Before you decided to join, please considered for the 5th time because it will be a career suicide. Most of my international colleague decided not to put their time in this company as part of their resume. if you joined the company as international hired (or what they said expat) you still have to pay tax. Company does not pay for your medical or dental the country does and you better prepare to get in stuck with Danish medical system. Organisation is just to confuse to understand and no clear accountability or responsibility between department or business partners. Job description can be wide or it is only stating about activity per year without a clear understanding for goals. Project execution is weak in term of outcome quality, time deliverance and cost effectiveness (i.e. I have never seen an oil company that does not planned vs actual charts for drilling and completion day to day operation). SAP implementation is the worst things that happened. instead of build SAP around the business it is the other way around to built business around the SAP.

Pros

Beside the brand that looks attractive , nothing to talk about positively.

Cons

Worst company I have worked for in 25 years of experience. No proper culture and blame culture. Hired people and put them out of job after 6 month, 12 months or 36 months because of "new strategy. Unsuitable model. No cooperation between liner & logisitic department. Good marketing that miss completely content and is an empty shell. Basically the old wood see you as a threat and cut you off. It is not about what you know about the job but with who you are friends with. Management hired are substandard and reject from the industry with no track records or have worked for 2nd tier logisitic firms. The more you play politics or be a good yes person, the more rewards you get. The lazy and political people get rewarded and hard workers that take care of the business loose their job during their every 2 years cycle. No empathy and just put you out of job without care and the life consequences. No future has you never know if in 2 years you will be with the company. Pay are not in line with industry, bonus is crap vs industry especially during high time .

Pros

nice campus and social benefits, prestige

Cons

Declaring agile way of working, engineering culture, try and fail fast, that sort of things. Preaching diversity, employees wellbeing and other good stuff. In reality though, work-life balance sucks because you are expected to work overtime with remote teams in the odd time zones; ageism - if you are 40-50 years, you are most likely first in line for dismissal during one of the next reorgs which happen every 1-3 years; CIO and his directs change every 3 year, smells nepotism as each leader brings the crew from the previous workplace; ridiculous micro-managament.
