Pros

The company encourages employees to lead projects and all employees are expected to roll up their sleeves to get the job done. it used to have a fun family-type atmosphere.

Cons

Depending on the office, leading projects and upward mobility is based on likability not on performance. Management runs a popularity show. It is very disorganized and too much time is spent on meetings and tracking short term progress. Workers are highly undervalued and payed below market standards.

Pros

- Fun international environment - Great end-of-year partys - Okay bonus scheme - if you qualify - Half-decent lunches, by Dutch standards - Developers get a certain amount of autonomy - depending on the team/system - Technical environment designed for Perl & Linux hackers

Cons

- Disappointing base salary compared to other tech companies, for juniors and seniors - Developers, sysadmins, DBAs, & network admins kept segregated - be prepared to file lots of tickets in JIRA - IT department in general, and sysadmins particularly, resist new technology - Lots of politics in some sections, and two-faced behavior from management - Dull and noisy office environment - some renovations have been done, but not enough - Bad allocation of hardware and developers - the company uses hindsight rather than foresight (strange when making so much money)
