Pros

Flat hierarchy, dynamic and international environment, nice location, good experience to learn how to trick strangers into buying conference tickets.

Cons

Hard to describe the competitive and negative environment at IBC. The office is composed by around 10 people, all young, very international. The working hours are supposed to be 9-6, but it is all a matter of appearance. Sticking around the office after 6 is to show that you like hanging out with them. Free drinks from 4pm onwards. Even better, on Fridays at 4pm everyone expect the owner starts cleaning up the office, and yes including the toilets. Chances of getting hired only if there is space in the office. Let's not forget the owner's sad jokes in favor of Israel and employees being blocked on Facebook for racist comments against black people. Don't you dare asking the same thing twice! Expect the owner to publicly say that your work sucks despite refusing to give you any instruction beforehand. Tasks basically include: crafting, running errands, bringing coffee to clients, some social media, international calls, walking the owner's dog.

Pros

They look nice, they smile a lot and they are shallow enough to entertain you during the breaks.

Cons

The salary for a trainee is lower than the minimum wage required by the Belgian law and they're never on time with the payments. They basically don't care about you, they perfectly know that they can replace you whenever they feel like it so even if you're underpaid be ready to work on weekends from home and stay longer than all your colleagues: you'll have to do also their stuff if you want to keep your job. The owner found this company just make money out of it, there's no project, and no love in what they do.
