Pros
- Decent pay, around market rate - Helpful and nice colleagues - Dutch culture, more easygoing than local or Chinese banks - Flat hierarchy, so high visibility in front of senior management - Hire fresh grads
Kontras
- Overly administrative, so lots of time are spent on unproductive, admin work - Inefficient systems and procedures, can be frustrating - No work life balance, OT everyday - your work is your life - Lots of politics around - Not advisable for fresh grads to join due to (i) lack of appropriate training - you have to somehow figure out how things work all by yourself, which is hard for fresh grad, (ii) lack of mentors as nobody has the time to teach you and (iii) office politics is prevalent. Only suitable for street smart fresh grads.
