Meet our cool colleagues

" Ever since my first days, I have always had lots of flexibility. I don’t necessarily need to be in the office to work, and if the wind is good, I can have a short day and work more later on instead"

Meet Amund

" I had some friends who worked for Danske Bank, and they sent me pictures wearing jeans and sneakers at work! And male managers could leave at four o’clock to pick up their kids – honestly, that would have been unthinkable in London or Dubai"

Meet Caroline

"Me and my manager agreed it would be a good idea to apply for a ‘fleksjob’ – a flexible, government-subsided job with reduced hours. I now work at Danske Bank 16 hours a week in my old job"

Meet Jannik

"Doing night shifts from home really has a positive impact on my life. It’s not just the hours I save – my brain simply works better, and I have extra energy to spend time with my teenagers or go for a walk"

Meet Lisa

"Somehow, I got a taste for programming and developing. I began to learn SAS and Python and Excel in order to develop and maintain local, smaller solutions which were used by the advisors"

 

Meet Dmitriy

"I probably don’t fit the traditional image of a conservative banker, but to be honest, my colleagues don’t fit that description either."

Meet Kristina

 

"I felt they had faith in me, and I was given more and more responsibilities and room to develop."

Meet Johan

 

"Construction financing is a really complex area, which actually used to make me nervous in the past..."

Meet Stine

 

"A flexible parental leave made the difference for me and my family"

Meet Rune
