Pros

The pros mostly comprise of non-professional perks such as the following: - In-building gym with showers - Such a large company, people won't really notice if you don't show up - Company pays for your phone usage and hardly questions phone abuse - Easy to be mediocre as there are so many people and you can hide behind the corporation - The main perk I hear from people who still work there is that it's so flexible, you can come and go as you please since no know really notices anything, you can travel, spend their money... it's hard to leave this kind of freedom even though people actually don't enjoy working here

Cons

- The typical corporate environment (could be a pro if you like this type of work force) - High number of mediocre people, which was surprising to me seeing that there are many people with high educations (I guess it goes to show that where you graduated from doesn't mean you have skills) - The products provided were pretty boring (of course this is just my opinion, but I would rather work for a company I'm actually passionate about) - Management... haha... well, let's just say it was a Con - The location at Sloterdijk station is depressing
