Pros

- clever, skilled, passionate colleagues - lots to work on - established and profitable main product - complex technical challenges - depending on team you can have really good work/life balance. no on-call, flexible hours, WFH, etc. - pay is probably higher than amsterdam average

Cons

- no room for growth or promotion, we'd rather higher externally than promote internally. "flat structure" - which we do not have - is no excuse for not giving people raises or title bumps. - no transparency - values are used to excuse the bad things, not promote the good, change often - OKRs are meaningless but treated as the solution to all problems
