Not the company it was, not the company they promote they are.

Pros

- Learned a lot because of the unique situations given within the company - Met amazing colleagues which I still consider friends.

Cons

- Coolblue turned to the worse when changes left an incapable management layer in the IT department. People not suited to fulfill the "leadership" roles were promoted. - Coolblue never figured out how to remove bottleneck people from key positions and thus the top-down mentality arose - Gossip is now common and seriously affects the life of developers. - Diversity is barely non-existant.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great meeting rooms, awesome people

Cons

Management overhead. Lack of transparency, especially when one of the company principles is "Open, Honest & Direct". Lack of technical direction (in the software development department). Always reducing employee conditions while bragging about the very big revenue. Creation of useless career positions that stop being available after a short time.
