Despite playing lip service to all the woke agenda ideologies, this company is actually quite old fashioned in a number of aspects: their policies, contracts, tools, systems, benefits and, crucially, their management style…. Which make no mistake is quite aggressively profit driven.
There is nothing wrong at being profit driven per se, obviously any company needs and should generate as much profit as they can, however, there are many ways to go about it. The way Ramboll chose to do it can be critizized for generating an environment where overtime work is expected, and even asked for in their contract paperwork. This has become pervasive in the company culture and if you do not do it, you are putting yourself in a seriously precarious situation in regards to your employment. It’s not just line managers that sort of demand it, it’s peers as well, which engage in bully behaviour to try to get you to undertake the work they want in ridiculously short timescales.
This culture self selects for a certain type of professional and the work quality has suffered as a result.
Benefits are not competitive and very hard fought.
Salaries are average.
