Pros

Nice people to work with and a good place to build network (with clients). Leadership understand personal matters very nicely and support you through them. Its more like working with friends rather than professional colleagues.

Cons

HR is useless and very bias neglecting badly the US, Canadian and even EU team members. Majority of their focus is on Brazilian team members which makes more than half of the company. Several serious concerns and issues were addressed with 0 response and effort to address or solve them. Expect to be hired but take on several and random tasks with no proper training or vision. You wont be able to focus on one goal or have a proper strategy. You'll get different goals every few weeks depending on what the CEO's ideas are. No proper guidance from leadership. Sudden layoffs of valuable people with no severance package. Not the place to grow your career.

Pros

Good health benefits and 401 (k) matching. They hired me as a W-2 employee vs a 1099 when I stressed that I needed healthcare benefits. Front-loaded PTO, which is great if you're in California

Cons

This place was a nightmare from the very beginning. Almost everyone I dealt with was in Brazil, and most of them had only a basic understanding of English and zero knowledge of US business culture. I experienced system issues with their payroll vendor, and they failed to provide any assistance. As a result, my first paycheck never hit my bank account. They scheduled all-day orientation meetings on my first day, despite my having informed them that the client had already scheduled me for meet-and-greets and project onboarding. They became annoyed that I had "no-showed" for these orientations. I told them that my team had meetings every day from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m., yet they continued to reschedule the meetings during those times. They were very proud to show me their new company video. Half of it was in Portuguese, and there were no English subtitles.
