Pros

Fun company party in Amsterdam once a year... but that's about it.

Cons

Management is a nightmare. People are promoted based on how long they've been at the company. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how good you are at your job, if you're not sucking up or increasing your "visibility" it doesn't matter. People who have questionable work ethics get promoted to management, and it really unmotivates everyone. Also, raises are a joke... You get a 1% increase every year. Salary is not negotiable either.
