Pros

People, the team itself seems to be very glued in and exciting.

Cons

I went through the full interview process for a role in Amsterdam. The process itself was thorough, and the people I spoke with were knowledgeable. Compensation was competitive, and they were transparent about the 30% ruling benefits.

After receiving and signing a contract, I resigned from my previous role and began preparing for relocation to the Netherlands. IMC rescinded the offer.

I don't know how going onsite for interviews and taking a holiday day off to ensure I could be present does not signal commitment to joining the company.

There was no warning, no opportunity to address whatever concern they had, just a withdrawal of a signed contract before I was due to start. This left me unemployed with no notice.

The inflexibility from themselves is a worrying trend. On that basis, I would encourage potential candidates to continue with other opportunities to avoid the outcome I experienced.

Advice to Management

A signed contract should mean something. If there are concerns about a candidate, raise them before it's too late for the person to recover. The way this was handled caused genuine harm.
