Amazing colleagues, lackluster management. Nice place to work if you can deal with the politics and uncertainty.
Pluspunten
Some of the most wonderful people I've ever worked with (lots of really bright people, lots of fun also after work) Feels more like friends than colleagues Very multicultural environment Compensation is average to slightly above average, and tax optimisations are done in favor of employees), unlimited holidays Good opportunity to get a raise every year and make promotion every 2 or 3 years Rather nice offices at a good location
Minpunten
Leadership is seriously lacking, some of the tenured people seem to be around for no good reason Quite some office politics, lots of red tape Every year the company seems to get reorganized into something that is more disorganized than before, with more complicated reporting lines Everything is very much focused on short term: fundamental issues are lingering, foreseeable work gets communicated at the last possible moment,... Lots of time spent in meetings with unclear objectives and responsibilities, often leaving one scrambling to get technical work done in the spare moments between the meetings
