Pros

If you like cosy Amsterdam. Be cautious about toxic, directionless and unpredictable management.

Cons

Booking acquired FareHarbor a few years back. The owners cashed a big cheque! I guess it happened because FareHarbor sells aggressively using typical boiler room tactics and ruthlessly runs telesales programmes. If you want to work here expect endless cold calling and prospects who are clueless about technology. The software is ok but the people managing the business aren't. Leadership at FareHarbor has an unsavoury reputation among employees from what I've witnessed first hand. According to my own experience some of the "cool bros" characters at the top are felt as toxic, inept in management and unpredictable in their decision making. Surfing and Hawaiian shirts? That's what they'd like you to think. Employees are treated like cannon fodder. Groups of people get fired on a whim or out of vindictive pettiness after they've been hired. Expect no clarity, no apologies or transparency on bad business decisions that will affect your life and that of your loved ones. If you move to Amsterdam from abroad then do yourself a favour and think twice.

Pros

• Supportive coworkers — The people are genuinely kind, collaborative, and willing to help each other. • Fast skill development — You gain experience quickly because you’re exposed to a wide range of tasks. • Global team exposure — Working with international teams strengthens communication and adaptability.

Cons

• Constant change — The company’s direction changes often, the long‑term vision feels unclear. • Limited support — Teams are expected to figure out new tools and processes with minimal guidance. • Unstable foundations — New initiatives roll out before they’re fully ready or documented. • Overpromising — Clients may be promised capabilities that aren’t fully ready, which creates pressure on delivery teams. • High workload — Lean staffing, be prepared to juggle more than one person’s workload. • Reactive environment — Work often centers around urgent issues instead of a stable roadmap. • Low pay — Compensation does not reflect the pace or level of responsibility.
