You make friends for life. Cool parties and you move office a lot and since everyone enjoys travel a lot a change of office sceneries is fun. You can decorate yourself.
Cons
Think twice before starting a Withlocals job unless your of temp nature flexible to saying yes always (warnings and redundancy threats to those who share opinions beyond Withlocals liking) or stuck in holland as a foreign kid like 99% of everyone working here. It’s not a mature company in behavior. The way employees are treated is like a primark trouser because not a ton of investment needed. don’t like it? toss it like your last years fad. We see it happen in front of our eyes! Withlocals terrifies employees securuty. There’s an exception to people who please and run at all costs those favorable or already friends to management can easily without experience jump to the top. Withlocals sees it as giving people a chance to grow any direction funnily it’s Withlocals way of cheaper labor not having to hire the real experienced person exception made for IT. Worst part it’s questionable how you’ll really function at another company where the right education is a must. Day to day tasks here are sometimes a walk in the park for some positions. It’s covered up cleverly to the outside world as everyone’s titled manager. I would never recommend withlocals as a place to build a serious career.

Hi there,
I'm the first to say we can always do better at Withlocals, but I don't recognize this story at all. To me it feels like generalizing a very specific situation by making unsubstantiated claims.
One of my personal goals is “employee happiness” and we invest a lot in talent development and training. There have definitely been cases where we lacked in terms of personal development and clear feedback about expectations and goals. I'm ultimately responsible to improve this for the entire team and at the same time it's also my responsibility to restructure a team if things are not working out, both for the benefit of the employee and for Withlocals.
I'm always open to a follow-up conversation. It's a small world and I believe it's always better to say goodbye in a positive way, even if we go in a different direction.
Great environment to develop yourself into a skilled professional.
You get to work with enthousiastic and smart young professionals and experienced, open-minded seniors who can coach you to become even better at what you do.
This makes the work environment fun, challenging and simply a great place to be.
Besides that, it’s also one of those places where you can really feel your work is contributing to a better cause. That makes coming into the office everyday even more worthwhile :-)!
Cons
Changes to strategic plans or projects can come quite sudden, as it’s a scale up. You have to be flexible, open-minded and solution oriented to be able to adjust to a change of plan.
