Pros

People who talk well, sell well or chit chat well good technical and design teams good team events (ski, ...)

Cons

Lack of project strategy for certain teams (a lot of talking but nothing concrete) Overhyped design atmosphere Management who makes you want to jump out of the window; To be specific, long and nonsensical meetings, empty conversations, chaos, forgetfullnes, appearing and disappearing deadlines, projects that go in smoke after they're done, self-centeredness and a feeling that employees' careers don't matter Redundant and deep hierarchy, dysfunctional lower managers Nightmare time management system and a toxic culture around it One of the lowest salary ranges in holland, considering the scale of company

Pros

Secondary package is good, plenty of freedom to pick up projects and currently still less by its founders, who are in it for their love of tech. The client portfolio is great, market leaders and top-of-class opportunities.

Cons

Managed as an old-fashioned consultancy with the corresponding hassles in billability and focus on busy people not done product. Projects are still waterfall despite some​ effort to be Agile. Micro-management still very much alive.

Pros

As an intern, I felt I was fully able to benefit from the internship experience at Mirabeau. Mine was a research internship, hence it was aligned more with a research project than a specific project at Mirabeau per se. Some key highlights for me 1) The independence and freedom that Mirabeau gives you is AMAZING! I could carry out my research project at Mirabeau exactly the way I was hoping to 2) I'm very grateful for the flexibility that was shown to accommodate my interests 3) Hats off to my internship supervisor, for always being supportive. Even through all the challenges I had faced, I was always given a lot of support

Cons

The independence that's given to you has the flipside of not always having someone that can offer solutions. You have to go find solutions to your challenges. You have to come up with next steps and pitch them out It's not a huge con. It helps in the long-term because it sharpens critical skills of resilience and ownership of your work!
