Can you name some examples of the cultural issues needing to be addressed?

  I'd rather take that discussion to IM or video, as I think it would be more productive in a synchronous fashion, than here.

    I'd love to hear it. My experience has been an abundance of charlatans. The other issue is that 60% or 6 out of 10 is deemed the best you will ever get out of a Dutch person. And, a lack of accountability in anything that's done - so if it's not done, nothing is said... poor.

      You're painting with a wide brush, as I was going to do as well... however, my concerns are more specific. Charlatans are in every culture. Slackers are in every culture. This is nothing unique to the Dutch. I am of the mind that reputation is important, and I'm wary of speaking my concerns to freely in this format, and being misinterpreted. If anyone cares to talk further, let's do Skype or Google Hangout. My usernames there are the same as here.

    Well, sure. But for the rest of HN that will miss out on your remarks. What are the 2-3 points? Like, really concise?
