Pros

The 9/80 is amazing. If you're good, you can fly under the radar and never work a Friday. The work is easy. I've noticed my 50% is everyone else's 100%.

Cons

Hard work doesn't pay off. This is a great place to work if you're interested in milking the system. If the Dutch don't like you, well kiss your career goodbye. It's a cult of Dutch people. Americans have to stay in position for 4 years, with no ability to move. Don't bring big ideas to the table either. Just do exactly as your Dutch boss says and you'll get a cookie.

Pros

Strong multinational team, great expat location and guaranteed sunshine most of the year.

Cons

The politics can often get in the way of the best decision or solution being carried forward, which hurts everyone concerned. It is quite simply too hot in summer with 50 degrees + as well as humidity.
