Pros

Good benefits, free fruit and coffee, friendly entry-level colleagues

Cons

The company has declined sharply over the past couple of years. There's little room for growth, unless you're a favorite. The management does not hold employees to the same standards and the review/feedback system has been changed in ways that allow management to get away with very questionable behavior and with treating employees very poorly in a way that is "compliance friendly" They've stripped back more and more of the "perks" that they advertise during the interview process as time goes on, but will not consider feedback seriously. There's definitely a "If you don't like it, other people can replace you" mentality these days. This is not the company it used to be, and there's a good chance there won't be a long term improvement in the future

Good for learning, not so good for growth

Pros

- Dynamic company, good for people who are looking for challenges - Local office team is wonderful to work with - Good insurance coverage - Lunch catering, free snacks/milk/fruit - Work with international colleagues - Compliance is taken seriously

Cons

- Lagging in innovation, promotions/marketing are reactive. Couldn't keep up with younger companies taking over market share in potential regions. Instead the company chose to focus on mature markets which will lose to emerging markets in the near future. - White-oriented company, high-level/strategic positions promotions only happen to Europeans/Americans - Too many changes in leadership team without concrete impact on the business/employees, all plans and no data to back-up - Benefits are revoked without clear explanation, the replacement annual meeting events have massive quality disparity depends on the locations - No management survey to keep track of leaders accountability, while employees keep getting performance review every quarter - Like everyone else mention, it's Amsterdam-focused where all information/decision roll-out has to wait until the office opens, which is wasting time for other offices that starts earlier
