Vanad is not loyal to its staff. The company continues to sell their beliefs to the staff that staff is most important and how lucky staff should be working for a company such as Vanad, unfortunately that is not the reality. The company with its multiple projects has managed time and time again to fool staff into signing contracts that the company cannot keep and by doing so, breaking the agreements. Staff is being promised to have a certain amount of working hours which the company managed not to keep their end of the bargain. I have seen multiple times in multiple projects such as BEN, T-mobile, Youfone, de Bijenkorf and more, how they hire 100 people and promise them a 6 month contact and within 2 months the new staff contacts is been terminated with no warning or the working hours have been altered.
Management is useless and does not listen to their staff and on and on have I seen people being thrown out of the company with no warning as everyone is on a 0 hour/flex contract, which means they can kick you out whenever they want with no consequences to Vanad.

Its a very messy and disorganized company. Very often staff will not get paid for weeks as the "computer system" didn't pick it up and unfortunately has failed to log in your working hours which means you have a lot of headache trying to prove you worked that day and thus running after your money.

No stability as after 3x extended contracts they put you without notice on a temporary employment agency contract.

Atmosphere among colleagues (depending on the project and management) is normally good. The colleagues are great to work with (but unfortunately that will not secure you a job long term.), understandably, the majoraty is constantly looking for stability somewhere else and Vanad has a major staff turnover.
