Pluspunten

The company is objective, unemotional and focussed. For a certain type of old-school mathematician nerd (not the new-age script-kiddies), this can be a good thing. There are no company wide memos on "culture" or "grand visions". Everything you do has an objective, and a measurable, well-defined outcome. You know why you're doing something and that helps you make decisions faster, easier and more efficiently. The company is growing, aggressive and I believe the only company able to withstand Apple. The company genuinely cares about customers - that's not rhetoric. You can find an Amazon engineer at 3:00am in the morning, shake them out of deep sleep, drug them and ask them why a certain decision was made. Whether they're on-guard or off-guard, the answer won't change. If something impacts customers in a positive way, it will be done.

Minpunten

The above pro can become a minor con since there is little to non-existent romanticism about any type of work. The biggest con is facilities - I came from a company with lots of facilities, on-campus laundry, etc., so I was used to convenient parking and a lot of campus-wide services which was a mild annoyance to me for a few months. The hours aren't quite flexible, so it gets difficult to manage your time if you have to visit other businesses during business hours only.

Pluspunten

Echt slimme mensen, veel kansen voor groei, altijd aangemoedigd om innovatief te zijn, groots te denken en iets nieuws te creëren. Competitief salaris en secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden bij andere grote technologiebedrijven. 100% zelfmotiverende werkomgeving. Geen dresscode en viervoeters zijn welkom.

Minpunten

Je moet gemotiveerd zijn. NIEMAND zal je hand vasthouden en je vertellen dat je het geweldig doet. Als je constante bevestigingen van het management nodig hebt, is dit bedrijf niets voor jou.
