Pros

Company has a very bright outlook. Smart, nice, easygoing people to work with. Fun, laid-back environment. Frequent trips to the Amsterdam HQ. Excellent benefits (free lunches, unlimited PTO, fully paid healthcare). Lots of autonomy and control of schedule. Ample on-the-job learning and opportunities to work with some impressive clientele.

Cons

No focus on career development leaves employees stuck in the same role for years and wondering if anything comes next. Zero priority on improving internal business operations or bolstering satellite offices with essential functional departments, which leads to constant operational inefficiencies and frustrations. Mediocre salary and laughable equity compensation compared to peers are leading to retention issues. Dutch-centric culture can be a turn-off.
