Pros

– Some good and interesting colleagues to work with. – Some teams are so disorganized that you will learn to evolve fast and be independent in a hard way. This will eventually help you find your next job. – It is maybe a nice opportunity if it is your first job. – Free lunch before corona situation (although not so tasty). – It may be an easy way to relocate to Amsterdam.

Cons

– Politics and micromanagement. – No work-life balance – You can easily feel lost in infinite feedback loops and meetings but at the same time, you will be forced to deliver everything in tight deadlines. – Managers do not appreciate extra time and effort. – No clear vision. – No professional growth. – Unexperienced people get usually promoted.

Pros

One of the best jobs I've ever had. Unfortunately my role got cut due to layoffs but I would have stayed here for years if that weren't the case. Great autonomy to employees, great collaboration, communication and organization. Good leadership.

Cons

Unexpected rounds of layoffs, but it was the case in tech for a while.
