Pros

Maersk is proud to be the world's largest shipping company. If you like to learn how to run a global company, this company is the great starting point in your career. I believe it has one of the world's best HR development programs that could help you to advance your career, either within Maersk or in other companies. Many of my colleagues in many countries were recruited aggressively by other big multi-national firms. Highly recommended!!

Cons

If you didn't join the company as a management trainee, your career growth may be limited. It's not always the case but non-management-trainee employees rarely become a senior position. Moreover, during the recruiting process, you'll be required to do personality test which will be used very seriously for hiring decision and for your entire career in Maersk. Although it does helps management to find the right man for the right job, too much focus on it may be harmful.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
