Vantaggi
The mission and vision invite you to believe that change is possible. The office is good-looking and nicely located. Some people are genuinely good.
Svantaggi
Where to start? The mission and vision are so compelling, it is understandable that people want to work here. The dedication to the cause is underused, and while external communication focuses on how much is being invested into the well-being of e.g. factory workers, one will internally hear raspberries being blown. There are hardly any development plans, if you are able to develop it is more a matter of luck than that it has to do with one's own commitment and abilities. Critique is mostly not welcome, management is rather intransparent and leadership positions are given to people with seemingly little leadership (read: interpersonal) skills. The pay in some positions is not enough to have a decent living in a city like Amsterdam where rents are exploding, free yoga or bootcamps are not going to change that. The discrepancy between teams' freedom, workload, management, value... it is horrific. The values and daily work experience are miles apart. The turnover and burnout rate is immense. Every time I have a look at the team website, I am startled how quick the faces change.
