Pros

It is such a pleasure to work here; the people are nice, it really feels like you are being rewarded for the things that you do and it provides you a platform so that you can really show what your skills are. The colleagues are great, it is such an international environment to work in. The company language is English, so even if you just started working here it immediately feels like you are part of the team. We are headquartered in Amsterdam situated beautifully in de city center in Amsterdam. Surrounded with shops, the canal ring and of course some nice bars. So that even after work you have a great time.

Pros

The company culture can be a positive aspect if you are young and single. Company paid happy hours and company outings. Health benefits are pretty good and well priced. Good people. Get to travel, can be good when you're not forced to do it at least 50% of the time.

Cons

Underpaid compared to their competition. Inexperienced management...company is growing quickly and management has no idea how to handle it. Most managers dont actually have management experience. So called "promotions" are not merit based. Get friendly with management and tell them they are great and you'll get a "promotion" where they'll cut your pay and give you more work. Constantly changing bonus structure with astronomical goals. False promises on bonuses...you might get it and then lose it. Bonuses are very small compared to competiton. No company cards for travel expenses. Pay out of pocket and then wait got reimbursed. HR is there for show, nothing ever gets handled the way it should. No growth potential at this point. If you started 5 or 6 years ago you could move up but not now. 17 year old international company with an unorganized startup feel to it. CEO said it best, "if you are here to make money the you are at the wrong place."
