Pros

Decent benefits and average-ish compensation People are generally nice and well-meaning

Cons

The bureaucracy in this place is off the charts. Everything moves at a glacial pace, and you can't get to anything—unless you're part of the golden circle or a buddy of Adriaan. Then, you've got the keys to the kingdom. You're gonna feel like you're spinning your wheels, getting nowhere fast. Your laptop? It's jam-packed with spyware that slows everything to a crawl and watches your every move. Top management? They couldn't find their way out of a paper bag. They're just playing catch-up with Stripe and failing miserably. Equity? Forget it unless you're gonna stick around for a year or more and bust your hump to be the star player. They'll push you to show up at the office at least once or twice a week, but good luck tuning out all of the noise or finding a meeting room. Try not to throw up when they keep calling you "a Mollie" and not to roll your eyes too far from all the cringe-worthy moments. If you're the type who actually gives a rat's behind about your job and isn't just punching the clock, this job will drive you up the wall. Unless, of course, you've got a thick skin and can stomach a whole lot of corporate baloney.

Pros

- nice office, good location - nice lunch

Cons

It's insane to see how this company has changed over a few years time. The culture that was once so important has degenerated to nothing. Employees that leave after having worked here for 10 years or close to 10 years get no recognition/acknowledgement or anything. It's sad to see. Culture has gone toxic, where credits for successful ideas/projects are stolen by the employees who yell the loudest, and you notice more and more as you surround yourself with the different teams that hardly any one actually knows what they are doing/talking about. Its become teams of show ponies, without a clue of what's going on but great Google slide skills. And these are the people appreciated by management, because management is equally clueless. Strange politics are played, nepotism, conflicts of interest/ lack of integrity within the works council. Mollie hired full teams of 'friends'/'ex colleagues' to work together again at Mollie within the same line of authority, causing ineffective inadequate people to keep working here, slowing everything down. Salary/reward is not fairly distributed, due to what I said above. All and all, horrible place to work, happy I left, don't do it to yourself.

Pros

1. Some genuinely lovely and competent colleagues. 2. The work/life balance is really good. 3. Nice office in a lovely part of Amsterdam.

Cons

1. The management team don’t believe in strategy. 2. Diversity is a nonexistent. If you’re not a white male, good luck - you’ll need it. 3. The founder’s behaviour is not just unprofessional, it’s unacceptable. He’s assaulted employees and swears on slack channels. Having just laid off nearly 10% of the workforce a role has been created for him. He doesn’t seem interested in making the company profitable, only handing out jobs to his friends. This quote sums up his approach: “I'm actually really happy with the crisis, because people now listen better to me”. More nuggets can be found in the sifted article: 'Brunch with Adriaan Mol'.
