why it is nice - Anonymous employee TNO Employee Review

Very innovative research organization, employees are treated well and interesting projects to work on.

In some departments it is common to use Dutch, making it difficult to integrate for non-Dutch speakers.

Deep subject-matter expertise, reasonably good benefits, good work-life balance including flexible hours, no mandatory 9 to 5 presence, good reputation in the Netherlands.

Somewhat old-fashioned (although this is changing), dependence on government subsidies, not as well-known abroad as, for e.g., Fraunhofer Institute.
