Office in Rotterdam: Beware!

Pros

The Rambus' office in Rotterdam is former BellID, purchased by Rambus in 2016. The company does pay a market-average salary, has several successful projects. Rambus/BellID provides relevant and valuable experience in the electronic payments market.

Cons

The CTO is a screamer. An he is not the only one in the company. This is a common trait for many middle managers in Rambus@Rotterdam (and even for senior engineers!) This is a hectic place. Everybody is complaining about everybody else. Toxic. The projects are usually messy, especially the old ones with long history. Lack of organizational and technical expertise. After working closely with some of your colleagues you might became a screamer yourself. Career options are quite limited. Rambus@Rotterdam is not promoting its employees, hiring outsiders for the vacant roles instead.

Pros

I did not see any pros here

Cons

Very arrogant managers. Too much micro management. Cant even escalate to HR. HR and managers are all close. So, escalation against manager will backfire against the employees. No clear road map . Manager keeps a watch on how much time you spend in cafetaria, if you go out for lunch and don't come back within an hour, you will repeatedly get calls asking for your whereabouts. Outside nobody knows what rambus does. After leaving this company, had a tough time telling my next employer and colleagues what my previous company(Rambus) is about :) .
