- about 40% of trainees get fired in the 2 month traineeship - performance based environment, you will be judged on you presence, ownership and flexibility. someone that does well in social settings too. - traineeship is focused on your skill to do intakes well, if you fail one their three tests on this you are basically already out, and they are not easy - if you are an english speaker i do not recommend, their exam's for certificates are still in Dutch. - no transparency overall (for example, you will get assigned a deep dive that you need to do, in for example Java, they will not explain this choice. around 30% will get a deep dive they are not happy with) - Everything you learn is self study, there are teachers for the first two weeks, but they are not allowed to help you solve the assignments - the self study material is bad, i would recommend a regular old coding academy class - you have to be flexible about moving - you also have to be flexible about the work that you want to do, if they think something else suits you better you have to agree - you will be underpaid for the type of job that you will do - you have to be very sure about your IT link, if they do not see it you will be sent home. (basically you need to have some experience, even though they state you don't) - you cannot leave after the first five weeks until the contract is over after two years, otherwise you have to pay them 13.000 euros in education debt. (the sum is higher if you only get a potential traineeship, this also means that you will be paid even less)
