Pros

This guys business is to bring people from third countries in the Netherlands to the local companies, their main responsibility is to set up newcomers (housing, paperwork, ruling). - paperwork that is done by an external company is ok. - ruling that is done by an external company is ok. - providing temporary housing - the executor usually helpful but one person can't do: arrange house, accountant work, resolve day-to-day issues

Cons

Management: - not useful; -usually always busy - will always run from you. Contract\resposibilities with third parties: - Insufficient information provided (you can't really on the information that they provide - probably the reality will be different) Housing: - the timelines that they are giving for setup process on a new place is not correct, they are not following their own estimates; my advice put this point into contract explicitly; - temporary house is not adapted for long-living; - very slow and ineffective in resolving day-to-day issues; - they don't provide full information about the setup in a new country, you will need to find out everything by yourself - there is no overall support; - you will never get the owner of this company - he is always busy and does not care about the employee; - in talk and deed, you will feel as second sort human - they usually do not care about your problems.

Pros

Great work-life balance Relocation support Personal Development support ( it is up to you to use it, get certified in your technology stack ) Diverse employees and great culture Great team building events ( BBQ, Restaurants and other events ) The autonomy is on a high level. Diverse clients to work for. Covered costs for some documentation. Transportation costs.

Cons

The autonomy is high so you are responsible for your own choosing of the Personal Development and how much certification you will achieve. The not so great compensation in salary, is compensated with other benefits from the Pros, and other support provided.

Pros

I have been working at Obvious People for almost a year and I only have positive things to say about this company. They really care about their employees, the day to day, the issues you might be facing, specially when it comes to having recently relocated to the Netherlands. They helped with the relocation process and costs, arranged housing, sponsored a working visa and found me an amazing project to be part of. They were also extremely patient during the time I was NOT assigned to a project, which means that they invested in me (salary, L&D budget) without pressuring me to start working straight away, rather than that, they looked for projects that aligned with my experience/expertise and interests. They didn't push me to any assignment, they found the best fit. I have the pleasure to work with great colleagues that are both friendly and knowledgeable, that makes a great environment to be part of. Apart from that, the perks of working here are countless: Learning and Development budget, travel card to use public transport 24/7, company outings, among others. I have already and will continue to refer friends and former colleagues to work here because it's definitely one of the best companies at which I had the pleasure to work.

Cons

I can't think of a single negative point to disclose, I have had a 100% positive experience from the very first interview call I had.
