Pros

Salaries are fairly generous and some perks such as health insurance and subsidised canteen

Cons

Very hierarchical model, managers and employees don't really mix. Offices are very depressing. Higher management in Amsterdam are renowned for their back stabbing and hypocrisy - makes it difficult for you to want to progress in your career there and have to deal with the "politics"
