Pros
My colleagues are awesome, Amsterdam is great, and the compensation is great if you're good at your job Perks are good, not silicon valley, but nice offices, travel discounts, food, coffee, mortgage interest discount. While they are rare, there are a few truly exceptional managers if you're lucky enough to get one.
Cons
New CEO is embarrassing, when he speaks in public he makes us look bad. New high level positions were filled by people who didn't respect our culture and what parts were working. Suddenly we run like a top down company and they make changes with huge negative impact on employees without going through works council. When you flag concerns you will be belittled and bullied by a minority of people here, but they have their buddies and work hard to keep others down. Honestly if I didn't love my colleagues & Amsterdam so much I would quit. Therapist worries I am on the edge of a nervous breakdown 100% due to my job and says it's common for people who work here that she sees. I am losing my favorite coworker to burnout and a few others are close behind. It isn't the work it is the very bad managers & the trainings only help the ones who were trying to be good.
