Pros

Great environment Smart people Encourage keep learning and give you some tools to do so

Cons

Lots of Perl. Lots of arguments about Perl Some opinionated people who discourage other people's opinion. Very non-tests culture. They have a specific partner support team, who's suppose to help your partner to settle at Amsterdam, but it's awful and usually the benefits are usually like "Pay a tea 1x week", they're not even allowed to go to the end-of-year party.
