Pros

* Lots of personal development opportunities as long as you don't expect them to turn up automatically, you have to actively seek them out and leverage your network. * Great work-life balance; Strong focus on Employee Engagement and Wellbeing, Diversity & Inclusion. * Lovely and supportive colleagues in an international working environment. * Chance to work on exciting new technologies as the company is going through a Digital Transformation * Easy commute; Station Sloterdijk and busses around the corner of the office. * Chance to see other parts of the world, as quite a few jobs require travel at some point (post corona ;-))

Cons

* Difficult to negotiate any significant salary increase beyond the yearly default step; once you've been slotted into a scale (very intransparant process and different per team and manager, it seems) it can be very hard to ever move up a scale. * Decision processes move ever so slowly (big corporate). * Legacy organisational structures hamper efficient project management. * Increasing pressure on existing resources to manage daily work AND strategic alignment activities.

Pros

Good work timing, office ambiance, transportation

Cons

1. Worst manager feedback and politics. 2. Too much racial and religious issues in office entertained by boss but is left unnoticed until reported. This is not a equal opportunity employer company. Mallu politics and race politics. 3. They don’t promote employee even for the long tenure and contributions.
