Cons
Don’t know what’s the deal with the other offices, but the Amsterdam office is definitely falling apart. People are quitting every day because of the unreasonable expectations and the toxic office culture: Double standards, favouritism and lack of respect towards employees. The salaries are a joke. Too much work with a minimum salary and no extra benefits at all. The employees are treated like slaves, required to handle twice as much work as they should, without receiving any appreciation, benefits or development opportunities. The team leads don’t even show up at the office most days (and when they do, they are usually high on drugs) but they expect their employees to work overtime every single day, without extra payment of course! People do not get a decent raise or a promotion, unless they are the manager’s ‘pet’. There are no transparent or fair selection processes for new positions, the managers just pick their best friends (or people who are willing to do drugs with them). People talking behind each others’ back constantly, you cannot trust anyone. Management is urging employees to express their complaints and be honest, but when you do that they just use everything you said against you when the time comes. The older people who have been working there for a while are either rude or totally useless, no hope trying to work with them. I guess it’s ok if you need an internship for a semester or so. Overall, it’s a waste of time and that’s why people with experience and skills run away from this place as soon as possible.
