Pros

- Good compensation - Company puts reasonable efforts to celebrate wins, treat employees well

Cons

- Toxic work environment in engineering deparment in Amsterdam - meaning poor professionalism, indecent and inappropriate behvaior is tolerated, promoted. Major cronyism problem. - Multiple employees have experienced discriminatory remarks, conduct and management practices from individuals in management in design and engineering - Management here is inept - behave more like a figurehead expecting employees to succeed on their own while offering minimal support, highly political environment where people who help hide their incompetence (by taking on their job) succeed. - Chickens with their heads cut off. Performative work - Horrible technology choices gauranteeing the demise of your career if you spend more than a few years here.

Pros

Free snacks Leadership opportunities Stable work given current ai market You can get challenging engaging work but it comes at the cost of putting in extra hours Smart and helpful people work here

Cons

Work can a bit boring if not on something cutting edge Dev experience is pretty bad, moving xml files around that contain the actual code, proprietary low/no code platform to build products Full of Indians, diversity is a joke in engineering. It feels like a cost cutting measure more than anything else tbh Very much a checkbox mentality when building products instead of long term thinking with quality and usability Doubts about upper leaderships navigation during rise of ai Pay is nothing near what it should be, especially after stock dropped almost 40% yoy Certain internal processes are difficult for no other reason than we made them like that, lots of reaching out to people for rqts, signoffs, adjustments etc
