Pros

HQ/Innovation center is empty around 1700, it is not expected that you work more than the normal 37 Hours. The Innovation Center is a nice place to work.

Cons

Dont know where to start to be honest.. Three times i have had to comfort crying colleagues because of unhappiness/frustrations. A very competent and good team leader who left the company in frustration said "Here at FOSS you dont get rewarded if you do your best, only if you do as you are told" which is the best single sentence describing the company. (guess that can be good, if you just want that type of job). Most of the managers there are administrators, very few leaders. Everyone except a few fear the CEO (Kim Vejlby Hansen) and never dares to bring something to him they fear he wont like. Management think they reward results, but because of the fear culture, only ideas/concepts/project which are already aligned with the CEO's way of thinking is accepted by middle management and therefore can be approved by top management. This results in only mediocre projects are approved. And if you have bigger ambitions than mediocre, you will only become disappointed. Salary is low medium, once you get hired there are no real raises (1-3%) no real negotiations etc. Pension is 1,5% Top management have this idea, that people only start to learn something when they work at FOSS, everything they can they learned at FOSS. What you learn is to navigate politics. Basically I left the company because all passion i had was sucked out of me, I became a shadow of my self, became indifferent, stopped learning, stopped improving at all.
