Pros

- See “Creative Group” for all reviews - Niche market, very profitable business, solid financial backers - A focus on company culture and living the company values, company stand ups etc - - Experienced management team - sort of - Young, friendly and fairly international. - - Drinks, boot camp, family-like - Decisions made quickly, as you'd expect from a scale up. Although this habit is likely to back-fire for certain decisions. -

Cons

- A high% of staff leave, get pushed out or have a low tenure - High% of staff on burnout - Distant from end user due to reseller model, hard to empathize with the customer, for product people. - 90% of middle management positions are given to Dutch. - Mostly recruited from Emesa, narrow minded in that respect - 100% senior management are Dutch, not an international culture in reality - No feedback culture - Focus far too much on presentation in sprint reviews (flamboyance over content) - Several people have felt that the Category and Buying Director (ex Brand / Marketing) has bullied them and have felt manipulated. - CEO “drives from the back”, anyone he doesn’t like he kicks out but gets his side kicks to do so

Pros

* benefits are reasonable * remote work * work from home stipend - could be better

Cons

* turnover rate is higher lately * remote work can be disconnecting - prior to pandemic the company used to be more connected * overtime culture has changed and is becoming more corporate like and less philanthropic compared to before. * working with multiple time zones can be very draining overtime.
