As someone who has recently left LEGO’s tech department, most of this is true. Despite efforts to revamp Billund, it’s still very much in the countryside and in the middle of nowhere with next to nothing to do. Their tech implementation is dismal from end to end. And it’s pervasive throughout the company. So improving anything takes years and hundreds of meetings. Rates are fine but you could make much much more elsewhere. I got a 45% bump in my current job after laughable annual adjustments (+0.56% in 2021). Generous bonus scheme yes but no RSUs, no ESPP. And bonus is not based on personal performance at all. Cost of living is very high and taxes are insane on both income and capital gains. Software engineers in my department were ok but none were exceptional. Leadership is laughably bad. Low churn is real but not in software. A lot of the workforce are old on average. Lack of young people. Good benefits and low workload but detrimental to career progression, to your hunger to achieve and to your social life. Overall, I do not recommend unless you are offered a high salary in one of the main hubs.
