good learning experience - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij WebFinance

Very smart team. Everyone is genuinely fun to work with and we usually do lunch together and get together socially outside the office. Laid-back atmosphere, causal attire. Ideas and suggestions are taken seriously from even entry-level hires. On most decisions, everyone involved gets a vote. Plenty of opportunities to get involved in whichever projects interest you.

Internet-based so the technology changes fast and we're sometimes in catch-up mode. Small company so everyone has to juggle several responsibilities and sometimes the lines aren't clear. Also we do a lot of experimenting and not everything succeeds.

Very analytical, numbers-based culture. Management relatively open to new ideas, providing you can back up your idea with data. If you can't, you'll have to run a small-scale test to gather sample data.

The websites run by WebFinance are based on a dying advertising-based business model. They run on a mish-mash of old technologies and need a new "big idea." The office itself is sparsely decorated and depressing. Management keeps proposing team-building events after-hours while the employees nervously shift and avert their eyes. In the course of a day there are many awkward-turtle moments.
