horrible toxic work environment. on my onboarding process, my first impression from HR department, I was asked if I "ran from my country". on the third day, my teamate asked me to "go back to your country". beside to that, racist behaviour makes expats to fireback and and the end, you end up in a meeting that everyone's trying to humilate others to prove something.
another problem, is that you have to use windows and it's not mentioned anywhere in interview process, this is not a problem by itself but it becomes if you have to run VMs on it while the laptop is too outdated and most of the time crashes or BSOD (believe me, getting BSOD become part of you daily life).
management, they just don't care. I changed 2 laptops at first month but none was working as it should, I was promised to get a new one every month (apparently they though I'll be quite if they keep promissing over and over). another problem with management was that I never received a feedback, NEVER, that's the first thing a manager should do. they've received many complience about toxic behaviours but no action happened at the end.
there is a set of scrumMaster/Developers there with +5 years of work in there who not only can do proper coding but also they are fresh learnt scrum masters, at the end of each week, we had a meeting to fix their bugs in code.
on the infrastructure, no one's seem to be working, for instance, I got my internal git authorization after 2 weeks. another instance is that can't ever have a vm to work on for yourself, hunderds of similar problems exists.
on the coding side which is more concerned for a software engineer, I DONT RECOMMEND HERE AT ALL. almost no one is open for commenting on merge requests, you can't comment on the design of a code, and if you do people start crying and calling meetings for it. beside that, code quality isn't good, that next to code review problems makes the code smell so bad.
last but not least, on my leave, after I announced the resign, I was never given a time (during corona all meetings was online) to say goodbye to my coworkers, it seems that manager thinks you should be happy in such environment and never let go. that's funny because there are like 3 leavers every month, just in a flat of office.
ps: all these comments is about Hoofddorp office
