Pros
Very good team. New and innovative ideas are welcomed. Lot of team activities. Possibility for trainings which are inline with your work. Employees are listened to.
Cons
There are no lunch discounts.
Pros
-Some co-workers are helpful and professional -R&D team is respected and given importance
Cons
-Company Lacks consistent vision. -No useful benefits like health insurance, pension etc. -Zero HR support. A HR consultant visits sometimes and mostly no action is taken on anything. -Shocking startup culture even after so many years of existing. Employees have to do their jobs and also help out around the office like fixing network issues, dishwashing, cleaning desks, getting groceries, organizing events, ordering food etc. -No required infrastructure. Sometimes employees have to go months without even getting a computer. They have to work on their personal laptops. -Zero documentation in the company. Code is not documented so if an employee who worked for a few years leaves, the work becomes useless and has to re-done. Also no design, architecture, functional specs, requirements documents etc. -No scope for growth. They just have one product and hardly any scope for growth or moving to different teams etc. If you are on good terms with management maybe they will promote you, otherwise good luck! -No lunch and almost no healthy food if you are hungry. They provide unhealthy and inexpensive snacks. -They have a tough time retaining good employees and getting new employees. So they hire freshers with almost no experience and for low pay. This does not look good for experienced employees who are willing to stay loyal and continue in the company. -Employees are treated differently based on how important/valuable they are to the company
Pros
- I enjoy working with my colleagues who are very dedicated - Company is really improving, still startup culture with all the quirks of a startup - I've learned a lot and still learning - Nice opportunities to grow in position and scope of role - Package is competitive - Technology and vision are great and a good market fit - Management is attentive and recently introduced processes have made the company really progress forward - I really believe in it! - Office is quite nice (yet not in the center of Amsterdam)
Cons
- Location isn't the most exciting, not so much going around in the area - No dedicated HR team, just a part time person dealing with HR - however it's been improving constantly - used to work with two different payslip software and now it's all managed by one - No pension payment - Lunch in the canteen is not the cheapest (2.5 Euros for a sandwich or Salad) and the canteen is only open for a small amount of time per day
