Pluspunten

I can only mention the salary If you arrive at Glassdoor, you're half way of saving your time and keeping your mind healthy.

Minpunten

Huge list but I'll try to keep it short. When I first started I visited Glassdoor but I tried to ignore the 2.7 rating because I thought that applied mostly to the US offices. However, because a company's culture is created by the highest perosn in the hierarchy, that can be felt across all the offices they have around the world. A CEO that says on a town hall meeting that "everyone is replaceable and doesn't care if people keep quiting", doesn't deserve any F* respect from their more than 1.000 people under him. But that is of course only my opinion. If you were sold a beautiful idea of making huge commissions and sold a great salary, do yourself a favor: keep searching for a new job! The company has miscalculated the market opportunity by at least 83% and keeps hiring people hoping they will sell to companies that won't/can't buy their services. Plus incentivises people to compete which other, allowing people to steal (or how they call it - challenge) each other's accounts. There's no much support from both the team mates and management as everyone sees each other as a competitor. The target they set are ridiculous! Only 5-6 globally out of 200+ can reach them due to long history in the company. It's mandatory to work from the office and the micro management rules! If you managed to read everything, I hope it can help on your decision. Really, if I had been more careful and trusting on the reviews of Glassdoor, I wouldn't be in a situation I was. I've seen people coming in and after 2 weeks they already wanted to leave.

Pluspunten

You can consider this job as a first step into a career in this industry, nothing more

Minpunten

Their culture belong to the 19th century, the office in Amsterdam is hugely sexist and dirty minded, if you're a female you will definitely have some problems there. The CEO is forcing people to vaccinate or leave the job, you can't work from home unless there's a lockdown while all other companies are allowing hybrid work. The market is getting smaller and the product they sell if very old fashioned and expensive and they still insist they are the best in the market when they can't accommodate any requests for their customers because they have such a basic product and don't add any updates or new technologies to their product offerings.

Good technical support and fast internet

Minpunten

Possibility to close sales is near to zero and the internal global sales team is one big shark tank!
