Pros

Great work/life balance, wide range of locations, competitive salary, commitment to staff development, attractive benefits, good pension scheme, company gym, cycle to work scheme.

Cons

Higher-ups are mostly Dutch, inefficiencies in communication between different departments, [probably down to location] not entirely professional atmosphere (dress code etc), a lot of 'business improvement' meetings where issues are highlighted but often not dealt with (only to be highlighted again a year later while one or two are prioritised).
