Pros

A lot of travel, make friends from all over the world, the ability to work in a diverse atmosphere, you can work on developing your skillset, a lot of trainings

Cons

Bad managers: micro manage, bad communication, lie about communication to pin colleagues against each other, do not take responsibility for their actions. They are not inspiring and lack leadership skills. (this is not in every office, just be aware if you go in for an interview)

Pros

Fair Salary. Colleagues in London office are a major plus. Free Lunch also included, although this could be improved upon. Overall. Not too bad. I've worked at FAR worse.

Cons

Far too many rules and regulations. Major favouritism goes on between management and staff. If your face doesn't fit, you're stuffed. Goal posts are shifted all the time. Lots of colleagues bsckstab to get ahead. Very two faced. They need to relax a bit if they want to keep staff.

Pros

Excellent relocation package, salary is okay on Netherlands if you don't have a family, a lot of teams to explore, if you are lucky with your team you get to travel, work hours is not heavy at all, nice office, amazing people, good name on resume.

Cons

You have a 50/50 chance that your management is either good or really terrible, they will always try to bring your perfomance down (and they believe that will encourage you to do better, ask the many burnouts in the company), for a creative Designer you will stagnate in 6 months, to become a senior you have to touch everywhere and not have a high quality work, the business is kinda lost with new products, code base / technology is bad, design guidelines and quality are joke, benefits of working here are not so great and once you open your eyes to job positions outside Amsterdam, you realize this is far from perfect.
