Pros

- Cool products - Brilliant colleagues who take the work seriously, but don't take themselves seriously

Cons

For those outside Billund, the vaunted "Danish work-life balance" translates into blatant disrespect for those working in other countries. I am regularly called into meetings at 6AM (and it's even worse for people in the US) by Danish coworkers who refuse even to give up their preferred lunch hour. They are rigid in their work patterns while expecting others to blow-up their personal lives to accommodate Danish working hours. Technical feasibility reviews are also regularly scheduled on non-Danish public holidays despite the fact that 20+ required participants in the UK then have to work on a public holiday All of this would be galling even if the pay weren't significantly below market

Pros

Great Coworkers and Supervisors Great benefits 50% off on discounts on sets

Cons

Overworked in the weekends and holidays there was many times where the store was understaffed and we needed more employees to work High School Mentality with some of the employee's people would have clique groups during work Going back to employees there was some employees that were very lazy and or incompetent and nothing was done about it
