Pros

challenging projects, possibility to choose topics and projects to work on

Cons

very dutch environment, nearly no tolerance for non-dutch speakers. The company claims to be international, however nearly 99% of meetings are in dutch, regardless the presence of foreign colleagues who cannot understand properly dutch language. very low growth possibilities

Pros

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.

Cons

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