Pros

Creative work If you are Dutch good career evolution International environment

Cons

Lack of leadership Very low salary It's an Army of interns they cost nothing No people consideration, highest turn over I have seen, everyone starts with 1 year contract and most internationals have to leave after max 2 years as legally contract has to be switch to indefinite after 2 years however access to permanent contract seems easier for the Dutch. Very few opportunity to grow for internationals.
