Secret Escapes FAQ

- Flexible working, really great company for work/life balance - Caring and supportive managers - Free food in the office, including free lunches, unlimited soft drinks and free alcoholic drinks every Friday - Office culture is laid back with great benefits - yoga, massages, manicures, meditation, discounts - A very hardworking environment which keeps you motivated to succeed but yet not too pressurising - On-boarding process is extremely supportive - you can tell before you even start the company that the business completely values it's employees.

- Sometimes quite a high workload with lots of admin but hard work is noticed amongst your managers

The office building in which the Amsterdam office is located is amazing, slap bang in the center of the city. Employees can apply for a small discount on holidays.

The lack of a clear overview of the Dutch office by a general manager is tangible. Team leads play out their grudges and try to prove themselves over the back of members of their teams. This often results in a stressful work environment in which employees deal with constantly changing procedures (seemingly changed at a whim), being micro-managed and monitored non-stop and a lack of trust between leads and employees. The company values are void in this office. Feedback by multiple staff members regarding workload and juggling too many tasks simultaneously are ignored systematically. Open and honest talks regarding work matters are not followed up or acted on, not even by HR. The result is an office culture in which progress seems unlikely and burnouts and work-related issues are ignored. Some team leads may be great, some employees feel bullied and pressured by others. Staff members come and go and agreements from contract negotiations are ignored.

Great holidays sell based on great descriptions and copy. Value your Dutch content team and simply check out how many copywriters came and went in the past year. I am sure that you will come to your own conclusions.

Clear strategy well-communicated values Great career opportunities Free breakfast!

None really come to mind.

Keep helping the world to escape!

- lovely people -> AMAZING PEOPLE! - great office in the heart of Amsterdam - a dream! - great atmosphere - company culture and values (they really live it) - work & life balance - hard work & fun at workplace balance - opportunities for career and personal development - free lunch and food - Friday drinks

All very positive. Like everywhere some communication fine tuning could be nice. Only point. Salary is bit a low.

Big thanks first! Especially in crazy times for the industry and Secret Escapes as a company they proved to really live the values and communicated very well! Very much appreciated. Only advice (not for now, but for a future thought): Quality has its price. Maybe adjust salary to attract and keep high potential employees. Anyways, big thanks for this great place to work!
