Pros

-Brand awareness in Europe...the ONLY reason they're winning at the moment. -Great industry networking opportunity -overtime pay along with salary, works well when traveling and putting in long hours on the road. -...I would be making it up

Cons

-Incompetent Management team, very afraid of anyone who may have good work ethic and more industry experience than themself. -Employees are trained to exhibit an equal, diverse, open, utopian type environment...however this is an act. The average employee in the New York office has been there 12 months, and are more than likely getting their feet wet in the corporate world (first job)...therefore disciples are easily manipulated and molded to shady company culture. If I ran into any of my co-workers later in life I would not hire! -Although there are attempts to paint a "fun" picture, the environment is very tense....imagine supervisors looking over your shoulder. Imagine sales trainers stirring the pot with petty office gossip...imagine the trainers and supervisors conspiring against account managers for job security. - The pay is below industry average. -Not sure what the other subsricber was referring to but there are NO PERKS! Are you referring to an IATAN card? The perk is you get to keep your job. -After you have submitted to the extensive background check (but no drug test hmmm??!?) you can count on insecure supervisors reaching out to friends in the industry to get the "scoop" on you...lol! sad.

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
