    I have been working at Mendix full-time for more than a year

    Pros

    - Easy to get the tools you need - choice of laptop, AWS accounts, development tools, almost no bureaucracy - Challenging projects to work on. - Encourages personal growth. Besides the training budget and crafting days, Mendix lets you to have training when needed for a new project. - Good office facilities, free coffee, free drinks and beer, almost-free lunches with healthy options. - Very easy to reach other... teams and have a discussion if something is broken or needs to be changed. - Restructuring because of the Siemens acquisition and expansion - it's a complex process but I can already see the benefits. - No overtime or timesheets - Fun culture

    Cons

    - Some internal components were hastily written, then shelved. Often need to support them, stopping all ongoing development and trying to figure out how to build the darn thing. It's already being addressed by implementing proper CI/CD and documentation for everything. - Office issues (although it's already being addressed by expanding the Rotterdam office): building is becoming crowded; open space layout can be... very loud. - Dogfooding sometimes becomes extreme, with people building complete backend systems in Mendix even when it's not the right tool for the job. - Event driven development; often maintenance and ongoing projects have to be postponed in order to prepare an event.

    Pros

    Mendix selects the "best-of-the-best" to fill their roles. Not only looking for an individuals's abilities, but also their personality. It has a unique culture that allows employees to be who they are instead of conforming to a static way of doing things. This ideology promotes collaboration within departments and across departments; keeping the company innovative and exciting.

    Cons

    Not a good environment for people that like to be micro-managed.
