Pros

Not much. It's a job. How much longer will we need OTA marketing with Google on the rise? Its a job for now and I do not think I can say much more. The company does not discriminate against persons with disabilities, so that would be a "Pro" right? :) The company makes great efforts (keyword efforts) to initiate team drinking...I mean... building no I meant drinking :( Great job for gossipy ex-starwood, recent college grads. :)

Cons

Never seen so much catty behavior. Low Pay. Everyone is so afraid. No growth....I mean where can you really go in the company...wait 5 years...and throw your friends under the bus.

Pros

Great place for young developers to start or if you want to live in Netherlands for a short time and don't care about being paid A lot of great and talented people from around the world Different cultures English is the language of the company Social events: Freaky Friday and big end of year party (Limited) ability to move teams Business is growing Choose your OS (most use Linux) Stock and permanent contract after 3 years

Cons

No opportunities to advance or try new things No job security, no raise, no bonus, low salary (about 2500 EUR each month before 42% tax) No flexibility in work hours Company doesn't deliver what it promises Company promises a quarterly bonus that "everyone gets" but lot of people don't Company gives very little relocation money (1500 EUR) No relocation money until your first payment (about 26th day of the month) Very little assistance at all, while pushing you to find a house in one or two weeks Employees are judged with double-standards, and the company plays favorites Some people, who kiss asses, get away with everything and get special treatment, while they are really hard on others Senior management and Senior developers do whatever they want Very slow doing anything to benefit you, renewing contract Performance review is mostly self-assessment Clueless managers Code is messy, unorganized, and not documented People whisper about you behind your back, The company fails on communication Lots of brainwashing, Company "culture" is a joke Lot of churn in IT, but they say "nobody ever leaves" They hire anybody, even people who don't know any Perl

Pros

Free coffee and tea. Free lunch.

Cons

Eveything. No support whatsoever. Hr and managers dont value you or take your complaints seriously. I've never been in a company where its is so unprofessional. I honestly would tell everyone to stay awake from this company. The recruiter doesnt help. It is a company in which if you sleep with the right people you'll be fine. Dont have a opinion it wont help you at this company.
