Decent company, but room for improvement

Pros

Culture is supportive and flexible, it’s a psychologically safe environment which is great as they really practice what they preach, which can’t be said for all health tech businesses. Free vegetarian lunch is provided for those in the Amsterdam office. Flexible working is encouraged. Colleagues are good to work with. Huge amount of talent as well.

Cons

Unless you’re Dutch or German, it doesn’t feel very inclusive. In my perspective, it was a clique-y environment Can feel quite disillusioning and disheartening for those not in the office all the time or for those who weren’t part of the original team at the business. Very much growing pains of a start-up to scale-up. The business grew at a high rate and it feels like there wasn’t enough focus put in on how the culture would change as a result. As such - very focused on how to serve employees in Amsterdam, as opposed to remote employees. Doesn’t feel reflective of a scale-up which is international in nature with a workforce all over. Often felt excluded due to this aspect. Managers seem to have far too many direct reports (at least this was my experience) and 1:1s become check-ins on work. Did not feel like my professional development was encouraged or supported. Perhaps if I was at the business longer this would have come about - however, it wasn’t apparent from the start, which isn’t a good sign for me.
