Unique opportunity at a European Unicorn

Pros

Company has a very bright outlook. Smart, nice, easygoing people to work with. Fun, laid-back environment. Frequent trips to the Amsterdam HQ. Excellent benefits (free lunches, unlimited PTO, fully paid healthcare). Lots of autonomy and control of schedule. Ample on-the-job learning and opportunities to work with some impressive clientele.

Cons

No focus on career development leaves employees stuck in the same role for years and wondering if anything comes next. Zero priority on improving internal business operations or bolstering satellite offices with essential functional departments, which leads to constant operational inefficiencies and frustrations. Mediocre salary and laughable equity compensation compared to peers are leading to retention issues. Dutch-centric culture can be a turn-off.

Pros

If you want a 4 year vacation and to slack this is the place Staff and Management love to act inappropriately and do whatever they like so if you want to do that - this is the place

Cons

Immature and toxic leadership at all levels toxic colleagues especially in platform engineering homophobic and racism is completely tolerated HR closes their eyes and are fine with bullying, racism, homophobia, unprofessional behavior. VPs and above act like they are untouchable and at the same time don't take any responsibility for their organisations Company parties were good but now everyone gets totally wasted and acts like children Burnout rates are super high but management will look you in the eye and tell you it's not their responsibility that you're burning out Horrible equity incentive Looking back it was always toxic and management acted this way - it's just that it was kinda fun to be around.
