Pros

Lower level employees are friendly

Cons

eCG Central does not talk to Marktplaats (like invisible wall) even though in same office and on same floor. Unachievable targets - short-term focused (and if hit targets it will get doubled - a lot of pressure as rest of the business failing - i.e. Gumtree & Kijiji). Many layoffs to come - Marktplaats being centralised (teams removed). Management - Strategy team - openly discuss firing us between themselves - as if we are not human. HR do not care about this unethical behaviour & treatment - ignore complaints. General disrespect from leadership team. CEO, CTO, CPO & CBoard do not talk to employees in the office, ignore us, minimal mandatory engagement. Old tech infrastructure - now out of date. eBay's unwanted child ("we steal business from eBay"). Company rarely gives pay-rises, even if strong performer

It is equivalent to winning the lottery for a dream job.

Cons

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
