Pros

Mostly nice mix of international colleagues Many training opportunities Cafeteria and social element. End of year party in Amsterdam is great. Not too formal (dress code etc.)

Cons

Seems to follow pure capitalist US style. Huge CEO pay and profits contrasted against poor salaries at lower levels. Various disappointing behaviour from middle management. Questionable practices with multiple 'trial periods', punitive sick day system, etc. Lot's of buzz words and hype. No corporate social responsibility or environmental program. Multiple interviews for even the most basic position.

Pros

People are great, I have created amazing connections and friendships along the way. Fun work environment we work hard but are able to play harder. Global reach, often connecting with people around the world.

Cons

Not much mobility and constant change. Hard to be stable in that kind of environment. Many times the plan is not fully complete before expecting execution and very siloed creating duplication of effort and work.
