If you work for a multinational firm in the Netherlands, English will most likely be the lingua franca. However, expect watercooler banter to be in Dutch. In keeping with the country's social equality, businesses have a relatively flat structure. Instead of being omniscient authorities, managers should be facilitators. In Dutch corporate culture, it's normal for an intern to talk with the CEO directly.

Tax system

Wages are similar to the worldwide industry average, albeit they are lower than in the United Kingdom and the United States. The average yearly gross wage is roughly €36,500, or €2,816 per month, however this varies greatly depending on industry, experience, talents, and credentials. The monthly minimum wage in the Netherlands for employees over 21 was €1,701 as of July 2021 (€9.82–€10.91 per hour depending on the working week). Freelancing is also a popular way to earn money. Around 1.1 million people work for themselves as self-employed individuals without employees (zelfstandige zonder personeel), generally known as zzp'ers.

Due to the high taxes in the Netherlands, retirees in the Netherlands have it quite easy. Anyone living or working in the Netherlands is usually covered by the Algemene Ouderdomswet, the Dutch state pension (AOW). The current retirement age is 66 years and seven months.
