Pluspunten

Well stocked pantry, free lunch everyday & free teatime snacks once or twice a week. Co-workers are generally nice people and theres almost zero office politics on the working level.

Minpunten

"Fast-tracked career" is questionable: 1) You get penalized when you don't hit your KPI because of interal strategic adjustments. 2) Your workload just keeps increasing and you don't get additional help as long as you / your work is not part of the company's bigger picture. Hiring process is a joke. I was part of the interviewing process to fill some of the positions within my team and this is how it turned out: Scenario 1: HR and I were against hiring the candidate but my immediate supervisor decided to just go ahead and offer the candidate because of his own unsound reasoning. This turned out to be more of a liability than an asset. Scenario 2: HR was never present in any of the interviews and apparently we settled not for the best candidate but just for a suitable candidate because we "had no budget". Why waste my time to be part of the screening process when my words doesn't matter at all?

- good pantry and lunch provided

Minpunten

Honestly, a lot. It's definitely a big case of blind leading the blind. A lot of passing the blame around, no one really knowing what they were doing, the only thing the leads do well is blow smoke/wayang. I was specifically in content creation in marketing and the leads there had no idea what they were doing, but when this issue would surface, they would just push the blame elsewhere. There was one good lead who knew what he was doing technically and visually, but he was a terrible person manager. We would have 1-to-1s and I would voice issues, both personal and in our team, of which would get ignored all the time. He didn't know how to lead at all. The product is great, every lead there is just riding the wave of the quality, good job the product team is good at what they do. Very inefficient and not a warm workplace. The pawns work like crazy whilst the leads reap the benefits. Without a doubt, some of the worst leads I've ever worked under.

Pluspunten

Hardly any politics, employees have a shared understanding of the vision and direction. Work has global reach, and teams are lean and autonomous. Specialists and individual contributors are more valued, middle-management is kept to a minimum.

Minpunten

Fast paced, demanding culture, Requires a lot of discipline for self initiated projects for personal and organizational growth.
