Okay for a short while

Pros

Laid back culture, friendly colleagues, nice office in Rotterdam which is close to the train station

Cons

The company doesn’t believe in doing proper User Research (and with the company I mean Pieter) so working here as a UX designer is very difficult. There is a core group of people that have worked their way up with some politics involved which made me not feel part of this company. The core feels a bit toxic. The pay is low and once you’re in there’s no change of getting a really good pay raise again. This is also their culture a bit because they believe in fresh faces to come in every year. So I would only suggest working here for 1 year or maybe two.

Pros

High standards of professionalism, well-thought out procedures, pushes and encourages employees to continually develop and learn. Generally well-organized company.

Cons

Corrupt core, light personality cult for the CEO, dehumanizing treatment. Treats employees like expendable robots, most managers are incompetent. Advertises a friendly and 'family' like culture that is completely false. Forces employees to work during sickness. I could write a book on how messed up this company is. You can have an ok-ish time if you don't work there too long and even gain things from it, but I'd say, be very aware of what you're getting into if you want to work there for a longer period.
