      Pros

      International environment, very vibrant. The trading floor is pure energy and you will never find yourself bored.

      Cons

      Dutch professionals are clearly taken in a different consideration: easier for them to get promoted and/or getting a specific role. In the 4 years I spent there the company started a sort of "nationalisation" process.

      Pros

      Good Bonus Nice restaurant Nice entertainment for workers during the whole year aiming to maintain a "cool, humble environment" but it is far away to be true. Good for young people who wants to make carrier

      Cons

      Workload is TOO MUCH. No realistic expectation They are NEVER satisfied with your work Work extra-hours is the company`s culture. The CFO is not a reliable person. Very persuasive and intimidating. Shouts with his employees.
