Pros

- The company provided support during the relocation process and visa sponsorship.

Cons

- After going through a lengthy and challenging interview process that lasted for three months, I was finally offered a position and relocated with my family from another country to the Netherlands to start working with them. - However, after only 60 days in the company, I was informed that they would not continue with me after the trial period. - To make matters worse, I only received negative feedback in the last week before the end of my trial period. - Overall, I feel that I was not given enough support or guidance during my time in the company and that my efforts were not properly recognized or appreciated. - I would not recommend this company as an employer, especially for those who are relocating with their families from another country. If you're looking for a supportive and inclusive work environment, I suggest looking elsewhere. - after only 60 days in the company, I was informed that they would not continue with me after the trial period. To make matters worse, I only received negative feedback in the last week before the end of my trial period. It was a shock and disappointment for me and my family, especially after all the time and effort we put into relocating for this role. - Overall, I feel that I was not given enough support or guidance during my time in the company and that my efforts were not properly recognized or appreciated.
