Pros

Vacations, they start giving you 5 days every 6 months worked, when you ask for a raise, one of the options is give you more days. Salary is paid in the expected timeframe.

Cons

Management don't care at all about the people they work with. Shady culture towards the employees, always hiding information. When you have an issue with your client, they'll leave you alone and expect things solve by themselves It's full of Managers, Managers of the Managers, Leads, HRs, PXP, and Bosses that you'll not have an idea of what they do at the company (they are always traveling). Good luck if you need some help from them. No benefits besides the 5 days every 6 months of PTO, make a good negotiation of your starting salary, changes will be really hard to get (imposible in all the cases I've heard)

Pros

Teammates were incredibly welcoming and supportive during onboarding, always open and available to answer any questions. The company provides all necessary equipment for the role, and the overall training program for the position is well-structured and thorough.

Cons

Internal processes were extremely inefficient. The platform used for managing global and internal procedures was consistently slow and buggy, resulting in significant lost time throughout the workday. Interview scheduling was also overly hectic — days were packed back-to-back with interviews from start to finish, leaving no time to submit candidate feedback during regular working hours. Completing this essential part of the role effectively required putting in additional unpaid time, which was not sustainable.
