Pros

Excellent environment, very helpful service desk and HR, great people around, lots of useful trainings, free Dutch&English language courses, team dinners a few times per year, 10 additional days of vacation after 1st year. Not having an external customer turned out to be awesome - you really feel you're one team with everyone trying to help and solve the problems.

Cons

Sometimes it could be too much stress, but normally it's all right

Pros

Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

Cons

When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
