Booking.com, TomTom GPS are both from Amsterdam. As is Adyen, the payments provider used Linkedin, Uber, Spotify, Microsoft. Philips is also from the Netherlands.

Are any of them on 4-day work week?

Most likely not. Contrary to what was being said, 40 hours is still very much the norm in The Netherlands. Some people choose to work less (36 or 32 hours is common), but that obviously also means less income.

Source: I'm from The Netherlands.

Booking.com - sold in 2005. TomTom - dying since smartphones. Philips - an old appliance company. Ayden - hadn't heard of it, but granted.

I hear of new companies from China all the time.

Philips is succesful in pivoting into medical.
