Good work life balance
Lots of opportunity to learn outside of work through the training budget
Cons
Team hierarchy is unnecessarily overcomplicated. Team will have a scrum master, a team lead and a tech lead. There will be a product manager, delivery manager, unit director. And then the executive board. This for teams of size 2-5 members. There have been tech teams with more managers than tech folk.
Most of middle management is very difficult to work with. They take technical decisions without much knowledge.... Unrealistic deadlines are committed to without consulting the tech teams. Additionally, a different manager comes asking for update on a task every 10 minutes.
Salaries are well below market rate which is making it difficult to retain people who have been in the company for a short time, especially migrants.
A lot of the tenured tech folk are stuck in a rut and have a "this is the way we do it" attitude. Not encouraging of new ideas.
Senior management is very disconnected from people working at ground zero and have no commitments towards operational efficiency.
Decision makers around a person's career path do not know the company policy around it.
Poor communication. Stakeholders sitting next to each other do not talk among themselves and typically relay their messages through others.
Recruitment works at a snail's pace. Typical response time of an email is 2-3 weeks after about half a dozen followups.

Positive Outlook
Approves of CEO
I have been working at Mendix full-time for less than a year
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.
