Pluspunten

* A lot of flexibility in terms of what role you want. Easy to switch to a different role * My compensation was above market rates * Coworkers on same level were amazing, beers on Fridays, good to have a laugh with * Working on incredibly challenging products, could really sink my teeth into technical problems.

Minpunten

* The aforementioned flexibility leads to dropped responsibilities and lack of building organisational knowledge * American company culture through-and-through. Lots of things go against Dutch culture, e.g. top-down decision making, shallow socialising with American coworkers (very out of sight out of mind), expect people to set their own boundaries (which in the Netherlands is done differently and leads to bad work/life balance), employees are often not consulted on major decisions. I still don't understand why ChargePoint acquired ViriCiti years ago without properly managing this friction. * Management seems to be only experienced in marketing & sales, not engineering. Difficult to have discussion with because they're not on the same level as engineers. * While company is multinational, it is very America-focused. Other offices are underrepresented in company-wide presentations. * High employee attrition rate

Pluspunten

Unprofessional management and no work ethics

Minpunten

My experience, particularly within the accounting and teams, was very challenging. There is a heavy emphasis on offshoring work, often without proper planning or consideration for team stability. Employees are frequently expected to train offshore teams, after which responsibilities are gradually transitioned, creating uncertainty around job security. Leadership, especially in offshore coordination, lacks transparency and accountability. Communication is often unclear, and concerns raised by employees are not effectively addressed. This leads to a frustrating work environment with low trust in management. Work-life balance is extremely poor. Weekend work is common, particularly during quarter-end and year-end periods, and expectations are not well managed. While the company promotes an “unlimited PTO” policy, in practice it is difficult to take time off, and there is no payout upon departure, which may not align with employee expectations. There has also been noticeable turnover within the accounting team, with many experienced employees leaving, which further impacts team morale and continuity. Advice to Management: Improve transparency, address leadership gaps, and create a more realistic and sustainable workload for employees.
