      Not for everybody

      Online editor

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Young crowd, well motivated - The sky is the limit attitude - Very clear company values - They understand customer delight - Innovative environment

      Cons

      - Chaotic - Workers are underpaid and this is a big con! - Work can be very monotonuous - Extra hours more rule than exception, not paid by the way. If you don't want to get involved in this peer-pressure of working 40+ hours people act like you are being lazy. - Not so much appreciation for your work, even if you work hard. I left because I didn't feel appreciated at all and because I felt like one-out--of-300. just a number.

      Dear writer, thanks a lot for the pointers that you've made. Some of your pointers are already high on our agenda or we've tackled them. For example: as a fast growing company we've experienced a couple of growing pains. We've successfully hired a number of senior colleagues to help on this, in addition to that we've changed the structure where needed. Of course this will need constant attention. Thanks for helping us on that!

      Pros

      Fast growing company! Opportunities to grow internal and to learn a lot in a short period. Great funny meeting rooms.

      Cons

      The company is not a copy of the society! They select you on your social background and not on your experience!

      Hi there, first of all thanks for taking the time and courage to tell about this. I would be very eager to know more about your experience. Would you be open to tell me a bit more. Of course racism should never be part of a company. You can reach me via phone +31 (0)10-7421701. Your remarks will be treated confidentially and appreciated very much. I'm interested in your point of view. Thanks!

      Personal growth in a stimulating environment

      User experience designer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Enthousiastic and young co-workers (average age 27). Great thematic meeting rooms. A lot of room to learn and improve your skills. People share and listen to each others opinions when solving problems together (juniors and seniors alike) As a UX Designer you work in the development team, so you can immediately build what you design.

      Cons

      It can be a bit chaotic at times, therefore you need to be flexible. Extra hours are not paid, unless it is planned and approved in advance.
