Pros
- A lot of work flexibility. - Great payroll team that always acts fair and goes the extra mile with small gestures for milestones in your life. - Day-to-day a good culture on the work floor. - Healthy level of diversity. If you are the type of person who is looking for a chill job, with friendly colleagues, fun (but optional) activities, not too much pressure, and the possibility of a good work-life balance, then this is absolutely the company for you. The only condition is that you should not care too much about the future of the company. Because Teamleader is more fun for people who don't care about the future of the company, which is indeed rather worrying...
Cons
A lot of bad strategic decisions over the past years came top-down from senior management. Making bad decisions is not really the core problem, it's ok to fail sometimes, the problem is that when these decisions backfire, senior management excels at avoiding responsibility. Deflecting (and in some cases silencing) critique, and letting others deal with the aftermath. Because of this, it feels like the company is not learning from these mistakes. It's easy for an employee to feel like they are on a slowly sinking ship without any idea how they got there and even less of an idea how to fix it. This results in Teamleader missing a bit of spark at the moment, from the right people (important addition). Unfortunately, a lot of "the right people" have given up and left, but there should still be enough out there to fix the ship.
