Pros

Food used to be good. Decent compensation for Amsterdam, Good office location, 29 days personal time off.

Cons

Politics - by far it's the place I've ever been. Managers promote people from their own countries. Due to this a lot of mangers and senior developers very weak technically, some do not even basic computer science concepts. Retaliation - In general there are very few opportunities for employees to give feedback about their managers and if you give anything-ve, your manager will hunt you down and make sure that you suffer. Some people even got PIP for giving a criticizing feedback. Engineering culture - no proper design reviews or code reviews or testing.. Performance management- show ponies are promoted and work horses are neglected.

Pros

Good lunch, good pay, good work life balance.

Cons

Technology stack is highly outdated, engineering level is very low. Highly unqualified people, that got promoted during hyper growth period making crazy architectural decisions. Every second principal engineer in the company is a joke and insult to the engineering community. C level management has no idea what to do next. A lot of politics for self promotion. Feels like it's all about politics and talking that actually making a product.
