I never worked at one and whilst i think they were a lot more common here (Belgium-Flanders) given some of the old buildings with their business-name engraved in stone I'm interested as well. The biggest ones which could be a reference for scale if they're nice seem to be german and french.
I also suggest stay to keep a good eye on operation, rules and definitions when considering mapping that or any experience to the US.
It's become very apparent to me that discussion on concepts (for example unions or healthcare stuff) in the US often reference apparent success or failure in other countries without ever looking deeper into the workings and such.
Thus implementations often end up flawed or just not equivalent.
Someone who's attacking or defending unions for example should not consider my country an example for the style and workings of unions I often see described across the pond and if they do talk about the style of unions here they should to the environment and law constraints in which they exist all of which has a big impact.
