Pluspunten

Nice office buildings and facilities but almost 20 years in company it is disappointing to see how far this company has declined compared to the past. What once had potential has now turned into a workplace with deep structural and cultural problems.

Minpunten

It is disappointing to see how far this company has declined compared to the past. What once had potential has now turned into a workplace with deep structural and cultural problems: Extremely poor top management – disconnected, lacking vision, and unable to provide stability. Constant reorganizations – structures change every 1–2 years, adding confusion instead of clarity. Strategy without execution – corporate-level “visions” exist, but there is no practical leadership to carry them out. Broken promises – commitments are often made and rarely kept. KPI obsession – numbers matter far more than people, leading to a toxic, pressure-driven environment. Encouraged dishonesty – employees feel forced to manipulate results to hit targets, and management tolerates (even rewards) this behavior. Declining product quality – varies by product family, but in many cases extremely poor, with the company unwilling to stand behind what it sells. Stress pushed onto employees – when things fail, staff bear the full weight with little to no support. No psychological safety – speaking up is unsafe and often punished, creating fear instead of trust. Worsening culture – morale drops year after year, turnover is high, and transparency is minimal. Poor communication – decisions are made behind closed doors, with little regard for employees’ perspectives. Erosion of integrity and values – innovation and collaboration are stifled by fear, favoritism, and short-term thinking.

Relaxed environment. If you don't want to work, this is the company for you.

Minpunten

The most convoluted business structure I've ever experience. This company is divided into 3 major business units, which is then sub-divided into smaller units. I am a part of Danfoss Power Solutions - Fluid Conveyance. It seems that all of these different units operate in a complete silo. There is no overall, comprehensive global QMS or SAP training programs. They have no change management system; all of their documents for quality are in one location, regardless of the revision. No distinction between one business unit to the next. Documentation uses abundance of acronyms and vague language. A simple business process is not clearly defined nor is there official training. Finally, the specific plant I work at, has one of the worst quality cultures I have ever seen. The operators and operations management do whatever they want. Most of the operators don't even know what a SOP is, but management changes the SOP and expects operators to just magically know it. No training, no verification, no accountability. No division of responsibility. Quality is constantly put under the gun for things engineering should own. These people don't even know that you need to shut a tool down when it is malfunctioning.
