Pros

Excellent training for juniors, budding graduates Good work-life balance Multi-cultural, liberal - decent chance (not equal) of promotion even if you are non-Danish Global brand name Exposure to business trend & technological development worldwide Good chance for global offices secondment

Cons

Bonus scheme is non-transparent and subject to management discretion. The relatively high fixed wage encouraged deadwood to hang around, and the low bonus does not help to retain high performers. Ideal for men/women with families who are happy with fixed salary and willing to forgo their million dollar bonuses. The pay and bonus may be a function of your nationality. Ceteris paribus (if performance is equal), a Vietnam / Indian passport holder may be paid a much lower wage and bonus than if you are Canadian/ British passport holder. Please note this may be independent of ethnicities. If you apply and work as a national of a rich/developed country (after you changed your passport from a developing country), your pay may be different. Conflict of interest in China-based offices. Staff that are paid by client company have access to internal information flow, which may contain sensitive information from competitors. Management pussy-footed on this matter.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
