Pros

The products and processes offer exciting challenges and technical development opportunities. Currently, my direct line supervisor is performing well. The health care benefits are descent.

Cons

There is a high turnover in operations support staff. People leave due to poor leadership, expectations to be on constant call, low annual salary increase, and diminishing short term incentives. Support personnel are expected to attend international meetings at all hours of the day. Leadership is unable to communicate expectations to employees, then tell them they aren't meeting the expectations. There are no efforts to retain technical experts. The ceiling for career growth is very low.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
