Yep, just yesterday I had an interview at an Amsterdam startup, everything in Dutch. Right afterwards I was introduced to the team, and suddenly everything was in English. I was a bit surprised and unprepared but I don't mind, some other employees and interns are from other countries and I actually love working in English (I do at my current, remote job too).
- wouterinho 13y agoAs a company you're constraining yourself so much by requiring Dutch if you want to hire good people. I know many companies that still do so. Better for the rest of us! One thing I noticed: Dutch people can switch pretty well during "work" discussions, but during lunch or social events, the switch is harder and you have to remind people to speak English.
