Pros

Free food (breakfast, lunch, dinner). The people overall are great, especially in the Amsterdam office, loads of fun, open people. Every opinion is in fact respected and hear and appreciated

Cons

The culture is a bit extreme and some inappropriate behaviours are unfortunately not accepted but ignored. Growth can be complicated, so it easily leads to having to bring people down to look better. Bonus scheme is unclear.
