Pros

The salary is at a very high level for Amsterdam standards. You get a lot of travel opportunities all over the world. The people are very nice, you make a lot of friends within the company. Effort is recognized and people acknowledge hard work and it is appreciated and returned. Small size also means that you know everyone by name. SEO can sell a fridge to an Eskimo. Expert Services manager at the time of this review is the best manager I ever had.

Cons

The product needs a lot of work and causes frustration. The company is fast paced and you may switch projects a lot when working as a consultant. A lot of projects are undersold/underestimated which causes tight deadlines and more frustration. Projects are supposed to be developed using an agile methodology, but they are not in reality.

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.

Pros

not many exist for sales execs in the US

Cons

lack of product fit in US market, leadership changes direction and strategy often, sales rigor is off the charts (MEDDPICC on steriods, etc)
