Pros

- Nice offices - mostly friendly people - nice location in the middle of Amsterdam

Cons

- Bad pay, poor bonuses - Most of the people working there are young and have no experience working anywhere else. They are therefore still immature in how they handle things and place great value on moving up the career ladder. Much more politics than you would expect. - Unclear requirements from management, refuse to clarify no matter how often you ask, then blame you for doing something that wasn't in the requirements. - Really disorganized. They call it "constant change", but really it's a bunch of chickens running around with their head cut off, not knowing what to do next. The company is growing faster than the structures that are in place, and it is causing big internal problems.
