Pros

A fast passed company with a Cloud product portfolio that is unbeaten in the industry. Great people with a passion for where they work. The ability to build your own career path is still evident in this emerging company which makes for an exciting future if you know how to drive it

Cons

Company is emerging from a startup into a main stream player which causes a number of growing pains. The next couple of years will be exciting or challenging, depending on your point of view

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, high learning curve, interesting and international business environment, good team work, opportunity to grow with the company, being part of development and having the opportunity to implement own ideas and suggestions.

Cons

Still room for improvement in terms of processes, global and inter-functional communication - but constant development visible. Within the past years the company already changed from a (sometimes chaotic) start-up to an exciting mid-size company.
