Pros
* The company produces a product that's easy to believe in and feel good about, and goes the extra mile to be socially responsible. * Because the company values children and families, they are committed to a fair work/life balance. The work hours are reasonable, and they encourage a sense of play in your work. * Benefit options are excellent. * The company is privately owned by the family that founded the company, so the company doesn't make as many decisions that feel like they're to "benefit the shareholders" at the expense of the consumers and the employees.
Cons
* Most senior roles are based in Denmark, so US-based senior roles are limited, and turnover is so low that career growth opportunities are rare and highly competitive. * A 'hire to retire' mindset that hires people who are experts in a role, and doesn't promise or encourage them any growth beyond their current role. Most people I worked with were fantastic, yet had to wait 10+ years between promotions. * Professional training or development budgets were nonexistent. If you wanted to learn something, you had to pay for it yourself or take a LinkedIn Learning class. While they do offer educational reimbursement, the degree you pursue must be directly and clearly in support of the work in your current role, not what you want to grow into. * Base salaries tend to be lower than the industry average because bonuses tend to be larger. If you're surprised by the salary offer, ask about the potential annual bonus. Chances are it fills in the salary gap you're missing.
