I am an American who was raised in The Netherlands for 20 years. Corporate nepotism, in a nefarious context, is not a big thing, not until you get into the most upper part of very exclusive positions (the 2%-ers or so.) What is prevalent in The Netherlands is a sort of underlying social and cultural nepotism, or at least, we could call it that. Dutch people live their lives in groups, circles of friends and acquaintances that, compared to many countries, certainly The US, are more difficult to join into, become part of. The short of it is; when a Dutch person is to deal with you regularly, he/her invests time into whatever your relationship may be, they like to know who they are dealing with. According to The Dutch it takes time, they will not meet you today and next month start a business together, meet you today and next month take a vacation together. The circles are more tight knit. This can translate into work opportunities. If you approach a job opportunity cold turkey and The Dutch people making the hiring decision have another viable candidate who a few colleagues know from certain friend circles, it makes the hiring decision maker more comfortable. This is specially true in smaller firms. The flip side is that Dutch people are, in business, very focused and aim directly at the goal. For Dutch companies, and we all know that companies are really collections of people and their activities, it is likely that the managers focus on, what you can do for the company, the practices of, let's say, John, over in accounting is totally useless but he is here because his father is the uncle of the sales VP, this kind of stuff is very rare in The Netherlands.
