Pros

Employee input is appreciated and also taken to something useful, not another item on the pile. Lots of room for personal development. If you want to achieve a certain goal, Coolblue will empower you to achieve that goal. There are an infinite of challenges you are able to take on. Not only for the technical skill set, but also for skills in management, presenting or architectural domain. Coolblue has an hands-on mentality. Employees are encouraged and empowered to execute their ideas without fear of failure and layers of management. The enormous growing rate of Coolblue will present you with more then enough opportunities to grow and tackle interesting challenges.

Cons

If stable environments and steady teams are your cup of tea, you should think twice before joining Coolblue. We'd love to be flexible and dynamic. Team changes will occur every two or three months and with a change of team your responsibilities and skill set might differ. Of course, this all we do in corporation with the employees, but we do really like a great level of flexibility.

Pros

- A flexible and agile company mentality means improving yourself very quickly and often - Ability and necessity to learn new disciplines, which make the job very diverse and fun - An informal and flat organisational culture make for a friendly atmosphere - The easily accessible office location is also worth noting

Cons

- You will not be able to focus on just a single discipline, since agile means being multidisciplinary within a team
