Pros

- Good working experiences for LATAM people. - Very talented people from different countries. - Learning opportunities from different projects and resources. - Compensation to my needs is Ok.

Cons

- Some workers extremely overloaded. - Feeling or sense of fake urgency focused on anxiety instead of burocracy removal. - Sending emails or messages after hours and even overnight is NORMALIZED. Because is a sign that you are working more. - Leaving work on time is negatively seen. - There is a need to appear that you are working more than others so staying late, or getting home to work is the rule. - Human resources is not addressing this cultural problems but is silently impacting employees. - Competitive environment that sometimes could be toxic.
