Business Outlook

Pros

Well-organized Dutch company, friendly and very professional colleagues. I was pleased with effective communication at all times. There was a good balance between work and private life.

Cons

Top managers practiced departments exchange but regular employees could not move to another available subject even within their own domain of research. So, there was a lot of flexibility they were proud of on higher level and a lot of rigidity on lower.
