Pros
- Some nice colleagues, although in other companies you can meet nice people as well. - Free lunches.
Kontras
- Incredibly high turnover in the company. Some people just disappear and you have no idea what happened to them. Lots of nice and smart guys left company in recent months. - Criticism between teams and inside teams as well, that makes working atmosphere very unpleasant and toxic to work. - No technical growth at all - applying new techniques and frameworks almost impossible. Very bureaucracy environment. - Lots of technical debts after every release. A lot of them are still not resolved and no one really cares about them. - A lot of miscommunication between departments inside company HR <-> Finance. - People are treated as “corks” to fill the gap in sinking boat. - Salary below average in Amsterdam (tbh other company also offer not much higher salaries). - High workload for some people. If someone quits the volume of work is still the same and you have to work for that guy as well. Caution for people who wants to apply for this company: Local (Dutch) people won’t work for this salary. Freelancers/contractors are too expensive. So you guys are the last chance, last hope for them. After entering the company you’ll nicely fill the gap in the boat as a "cork" - managers are happy. Every month they import dozens of new "corks" from all over the world trying to keep the boat floating. What about you? Who really cares about the ”cork”. If the “cork” is old or it can’t fill the gap properly it will be replaced by another fresh one. If you respect yourself think twice before applying here. Be mindful - don’t waste your life here.
