Pros

- Dynamic company, good for people who are looking for challenges - Local office team is wonderful to work with - Good insurance coverage - Lunch catering, free snacks/milk/fruit - Work with international colleagues - Compliance is taken seriously

Cons

- Lagging in innovation, promotions/marketing are reactive. Couldn't keep up with younger companies taking over market share in potential regions. Instead the company chose to focus on mature markets which will lose to emerging markets in the near future. - White-oriented company, high-level/strategic positions promotions only happen to Europeans/Americans - Too many changes in leadership team without concrete impact on the business/employees, all plans and no data to back-up - Benefits are revoked without clear explanation, the replacement annual meeting events have massive quality disparity depends on the locations - No management survey to keep track of leaders accountability, while employees keep getting performance review every quarter - Like everyone else mention, it's Amsterdam-focused where all information/decision roll-out has to wait until the office opens, which is wasting time for other offices that starts earlier
