A swamp - you will drown
Amazing work-life balance. You can practically avoid work for months; nobody cares anyway.
Decent benefits for Amsterdam.
The product – backed up by a 25-year-old Perl monolith nobody understands.
Change? You won't be able to either.
Career perspectives – the only way is to go into management; you will not grow technically here.
Culture – as they cannot deliver results, they like to talk about them. Be prepared for an endless flow of meetings showing off nothing and talking about plans that will never be completed.
High churn – people were either working for 10+ years (too comfortable to leave already) or less than 2 (still tied to a contract).

Firstly, two interviews with a recruiter and then a hiring manager. Neither seemed 'failable'; it was just to get to know one another. Thereafter, there was a 90-minute technical interview with two developers from the Booking team.
