Pros

- Good people you can work with (depends on the team though) - Nice office near AMS Central Station

Cons

- Tech management is out of touch with the reality on the ground. They don't know exactly why some particular issues exist (e.g. release issues) and come up with random ideas to fix it, which doesn't work. They've been trying to fix release toil issues for many years but it doesn't work. - Layoffs happening multiple times per year - CTOs come and go every other year, leading to massive changes and earthquakes in the organization - Unclear career growth opportunities with unclear criteria for growth - Compensation package is low

Pros

One of the best jobs I've ever had. Unfortunately my role got cut due to layoffs but I would have stayed here for years if that weren't the case. Great autonomy to employees, great collaboration, communication and organization. Good leadership.

Cons

Unexpected rounds of layoffs, but it was the case in tech for a while.
