Vantaggi

Generally friendly and respectful environment. With lots of talented personnel, the company has potentials for much better results

Svantaggi

1. Inefficient company organizational structure with lots of unnecessary meetings and micromanagement. Lots of managerial and organizational procedures for a company that lacks adequate number of engineers (around 15 engineers out of 60 people). 2. Very bad collaboration environment with unqualified colleagues, interfering without reason at my work. Generally, the friction inside the project was intolerable and for no apparent reason. The managerial team failed to tackle this problem resulting my unavoidable loss of motivation. 3. Company prefers brining people from outside Europe that cannot easily “escape” due to visa constrains, than improving benefits and truly making a better working environment for their engineers. 4. Company has placed inexperienced and young personnel to strategic posts that lack a broad knowledge in robotics as well as team leading capabilities. 5. With problems at work and staying at a place (Odense) that does not offering you a variety of outdoor entertainment opportunities, I could say that my overall experience was below average.

Thank you for reviewing Blue Ocean Robotics. Regarding 1. and 2. we fully acknowledge that we have had problems as you describe. As a result we have made drastic changes over the last weeks which are expected to completely overcome these difficulties. Regarding 3. we are a company with many nationalities among our colleagues. Some are from outside Europe. There are no constraints on the visa system that binds these employees to be working for us and they are free to find other jobs in the growing robotics sector here in Denmark. We do not have any attempt to try and prevent people from "escaping" from Blue Ocean Robotics. On the contrary. We do have an attractive warrants program of very high value whereby all employees in the company will take part in the value creation over time. It is our hope that such a highly valuable warrants program will motivate employees to stay with us for a long time. Regarding 4. it is right that we have quite young and quite inexperienced people positioned at relatively important job positions. We believe in these employees and have intensive support and education programs for them which should enable them to be successful with their jobs. We agree that the company exists only due to the employees we have in the company. The management shall make sure the employees thrives and develops in the most optimal way. Clearly we have had periods and certain parts of the company where this has not succeeded. In our board and top management we have done our utmost over the last weeks to change the previous situation to a much better one. Regards, Claus Risager, CEO @ Blue Ocean Robotics.

Vantaggi

Being an American and working for a European company is nice. 5 weeks off, decent benefits and overall the management is fine to work with. They are understanding when it comes to family commitments and work with you should you suddenly need time off. All of this is a rarity in the Med device world...

Svantaggi

Small company that is till finding it's way. Things are tight right now and the ball is dropped occasionally (much less now compared to a year ago). You have to work hard and smart to come out ahead, no one is going to hold your hand and sometimes you'll be on an island with the clients...
