Pros

Possibility to make business decisions on a relatively low level - good ideas get picked up relatively quickly. The impact of your work for end customers is very visible, this gives me the feeling I can really contribute. The atmosphere is open and the organization is flat, you can ask anyone anything and people want to help you. Data driven decision really helps here. Nice people to work with.

Cons

It is not always clear what is expected from you: you are responsible yourself to decide one what you need to do to make your efforts successful. The focus is very clearly on the customer and you are judged on the return on investment of your time spent - there is little room for messing around for a bit (even if on the long term this might be beneficial).

Pros

Not much. It's a job. How much longer will we need OTA marketing with Google on the rise? Its a job for now and I do not think I can say much more. The company does not discriminate against persons with disabilities, so that would be a "Pro" right? :) The company makes great efforts (keyword efforts) to initiate team drinking...I mean... building no I meant drinking :( Great job for gossipy ex-starwood, recent college grads. :)

Cons

Never seen so much catty behavior. Low Pay. Everyone is so afraid. No growth....I mean where can you really go in the company...wait 5 years...and throw your friends under the bus.

Pros

- Nice offices - mostly friendly people - nice location in the middle of Amsterdam

Cons

- Bad pay, poor bonuses - Most of the people working there are young and have no experience working anywhere else. They are therefore still immature in how they handle things and place great value on moving up the career ladder. Much more politics than you would expect. - Unclear requirements from management, refuse to clarify no matter how often you ask, then blame you for doing something that wasn't in the requirements. - Really disorganized. They call it "constant change", but really it's a bunch of chickens running around with their head cut off, not knowing what to do next. The company is growing faster than the structures that are in place, and it is causing big internal problems.
