Pros

There is a nice social atmosphere in the company but really beacuse of the colleagues, not the management. It is very internatioal with people from all over the world but most;y from Europe. Being in the center of Amsterdam is really nice too.

Cons

Senior management treated people like cattle and with no compassion although I am told that is changing. The technology used at bookings is outdated for development purposes and bookings seems to be one of the last group using it meaning the skill developed here are not very exportable.

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.
