Pros

Very good/familiar atmosphere at the Hoofddorp office, with Friday nights out, a shared office, most lunches eaten together, young co-workers, small project teams, free coffee/juice/water/tee as well as fruit and sweets, subsidised lunch (sandwiches).

Cons

If you don't want to live in the rural areas, you have to commute (by train) for up to an hour from Amsterdam centre, Utrecht or Rotterdam. Processes not well automated (templates) therefore often work is done double.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
