Great culture & people, work-life balance, and compensation
The company offers a good compensation package that includes a good basic salary, a yearly stock grant, and some perks (great choice of breakfast and lunch at the office, reimbursement for a bicycle if you're based in Amsterdam, desk and chair for WFH setup, etc).
The people are helpful, friendly, and capable at what they do.
The company truly values work-life balance. If you're not on your on-call schedule (or part of the escalation path), you are highly unlikely to be bothered by any work-related matters after working hours.
There is a hybrid work setup (3 days WFH, 2 days WFO, but in my experience, this is not mandatory either).
The company provides a quite generous relocation package to assist you (and your family, if you're married) with moving to Amsterdam.
The monthly healthcare insurance premium is not part of your compensation package. However, if you're hired in engineering/product roles, the premium is most probably something that you can afford on your own with no problem.
The company is complex, with a huge legacy system that has been there for more than a decade. Sometimes, it takes time to complete tasks that rely on other teams.
Make healthcare insurance premium as part of the compensation package, probably.
