Pros: After having worked at several Dutch companies over the past several years and exploring the market by attending professional gatherings and applying for different jobs in the field, I think that Uber is one of the best tech employers in the Netherlands because of the challenges at work, career opportunities, and compensation (salary and benefits). Uber employs smart and knowledgeable engineers who like to share their experience and are always there to help you. Plus points: * Working on top projects at the highest-valued startup in history. * Great colleagues and managers around. * Career opportunities with clear, well-documented expectations. * A ton of internal education programs. * Salary significantly higher than the market average, with yearly bonuses and stock options. Many perks like Uber credit, gym and phone subscriptions, and so on. * Amazing canteen with free breakfasts and lunches.

Cons: - As the company is very big, it's not always easy to produce a lot of visible impact. - Some processes are slow.

Pros: Great learning opportunity. Following best practices in both code and management. Free lunch. Co-workers are true professionals that care about the quality of their craftsmanship. Code is written well and generally of high quality.

Cons: Overly bureaucratic, even if superficially pretending to be casual. Said to still possess the startup culture - utter BS. Promo process so heavy and bureaucratic that it's easier to quit and come back re-evaluated. Not a place for loners, introverts, and quiet people. So much insistence on constant communication, documentation, meetings, syncing, retrospectives, 1:1s, all-hands, RFC reviewing, to the point where it's hard to just sit in peace and do some actual coding.

Pros: Growth opportunity Big tech company

Cons: Work-life balance. A lot of work.
