Pros

- Everyone, including management, is allergic to corporate @#$%. - The assignments that they arrange for you are either in hip new companies, or in the "cool", innovative part of large companies. - There are some smart cookies you can learn from. - Atmosphere is great. Tra Very welcoming guys and girls, and many fun activities: ice karting, gaming nights, snowboarding, hackathons. - Your colleagues will be there for you. Doesn't matter if you're stuck coding at your client, or if you need to talk about your work/life balance.

Cons

- Low diversity - They have quite an informal working culture. Not a minus for me, but keep in mind. - Not all company "rules" are arranged and structured, which is common for many startups. This means freedom but sometimes it's a bit chaotic.

Pros

- A consultancy agency where there is a ton of contact between colleagues and we have lots of fun, it is almost like having a second family - We are always working with the newest and most interesting techniques of the moment - All employees are intelligent, creative and have a really strong drive - The company has a very clear and unique identity and hires only people that match with that identity - The employees make the company, the management only fulfills a serving / activating role - This company feels like home, I can honestly say I can not be persuaded to work elsewhere (unless its Blizzard Entertainment, but hey, we all have a weakness)

Cons

- You aren't working here yet

Pros

- Great work/social balance - Constant opportunities for growth and to learn new technologies - Fun and smart group of passionate engineers - Hackathons pushing you to show your best - Good compensation - Great choice career wise to work for major companies whilst having a core group to fallback on and ask for help if you're out of your depth. - Ambitious company that only allow people who are like-minded - Free to help shape the course of the company

Cons

- Not enough internationals. Very Dutch spoken right now - Missing company updates; Not transparent enough in showing how we're doing - no HR. Very start-up scale-up feeling.
