Pros

-There are still some nice people around -Somehow the company is still successful -Lots of travel opportunities if you want it, although fun is not allowed so that might be gone rather soon.

Cons

-Getting sent abroad for business purposes on tourist visas is bad ok? I'm pretty sure this is against your own code of conduct , the law etc. etc. -No career opportunities, going above and beyond is actively discouraged because of insecure people who fear you are stealing their job. There's also cases of internal applicants being told to un-apply for a position. -Only managers, no leaders. Despotism through spreadsheets, they pretend to be data-driven but they don't understand the first thing about statistics at all. -Gloriously hypocritical behavior all over. "Do as I say not as I do" is the new corporate slogan. -Salary is less than stellar. -Constructive criticism is ignored at best, at worst you will find yourself without a job. -Corporate buzzwords everywhere.

Pros

To be fair, thats one of the best opportunities to move to europe if you are intially from not so lucky country. They do all the paperwork for you, they pay enough money for you to live in Amsterdam, they teach you perl, they make sure you feel comfortable while working.

Cons

If you want to achieve someting for your personal development - this is not a company for you. I would suggest to use at as a tramplin to get a job in a better company. If you try to grow - you will be denied on every possible stage. You have to fight with incompetent management every day if you do care about the product and people in your team. They never admit their mistakes, but they do make them a lot. But since the company earns a lot of money no matter what management does - they will be rewarded for this work independantly of their actual impact. This creates unhealthy environment when people with different contribution to company buisiness and culture success get equal benfits and bonuses.

Pros

International environment and short timetable

Cons

Nobody is checking what experience you have had in the past, so the only way to grow is to stick to the KPI without caring about quality of job you are doing. Combine it with giving compliments to incompetent team leaders and in 2 years you will became ("wow") a Senior. Keep doing mentioned above and in another 2 years you will become Team Leader hating yourself for giving up your values, principles and for not learning anything useful for your career. I could not do that.
