Pros

I can only say that the tech stack is modern.

Cons

Highly authoritarian management style. You will feel the micromanagement in engineering every day constantly. Don't expect any high trust and ownership to be given.

In addition, people expose all their private life details to get leaves. When people have to get sick leave, they feel quite sorry and try to work as much as possible when they are sick. You can imagine the rest of the working culture.

I'd especially stay away from the Amsterdam Engineering office, because the management is pretty bad there.

Advice to Management

Try to work with leaders who can bring vision and can move the company to the next level and not just leaders who just try to push and squeeze the engineers from Slack every second. Send slack engineering managers away.
