Pros

The salary is good and you get an extra 5 days a year off.

Cons

The culture is absolutely toxic. The most unfriendly people I have ever encountered in my career. No team work whatsoever, people are trying to build mini 'empires' and to take credit and 'recognition' for just actually doing their jobs. In terms of technical competencies, the lack of experience and knowledge is astonishing, but the more shocking part is the denial and refusal to accept shortcomings. The competences are questionable and often you see people working in areas with no past experience.

Pros

Good salary Great work-life balance Great safety culture Generally a relaxed environment to work

Cons

Though efforts are made, a singular and consistent strategy spanning across many years seems lacking. Management decisions are questionable at times, often nullifying the effect of decisions taken in the past. Though sometimes beneficial, re-orgs happen frequently (but not necessarily leading to job cuts).

Pros

Some wonderful colleagues who really care about what they do.

Cons

If you aren't a (Dutch) man over 50, don't expect to have your voice heard. Bullying and incompetence are rampant. Pay for locals is well below market rate (not the case for expats)
