Pros
* Hard-working, smart, international people * Focus on great design * Not afraid of ditching legacy codebase in favor of latest technologies * Friendly atmosphere * People are approachable, also management * Flat hierarchy, not a lot of overhead * Company is doing well, we're growing * Nice free lunch with lunch lady who sets everything up * Regular borrels (drinks) at nearby hotspot (Amsterdam Roest)
Cons
* R&D department has struggled with periods of high turnover. * CEO is a Sales guy through and through which can cause friction with R&D department. * People come from all over, so during the day you are speaking and/or listening to "Lingua Franca" English. * Product is struggling to get mature; we're doing well, but that is also thanks to our consultants who fix issues with the product in the project phase. There seems to be a bit more time now to fix bugs, which is nice and necessary. Hopefully we can get to a phase where fixing bugs and doing thorough testing is part of every release, with less pressure on delivery dates. * Because of medium/high turnover combined with quick release cycles, R&D staff doesn't have deep knowledge of the product nor of the history of the product. * Because of flat hierarchy, career opportunities are not as endless as in bigger companies
