Pros

The coffee machine works. That’s it. If you're into caffeine fueled existential dread, you're in luck.

Cons

If you're an immigrant, a builder, or someone who actually wants to grow as a software engineer, RUN! *Blatant favoritism: promotions and opportunities go to friends, not performers. *Gaslighting and denial: even with clear evidence, they’ll twist reality to protect management. *Unrealistic expectations masked as “urgency” or “team commitment.” *Withholding information then blaming employees for being out of sync. *Overloading hard workers while rewarding those who say the right things to the right people. *Zero psychological safety: speaking up is dangerous and usually punished. *Lack of vision or leadership: They dont know what they are doing or where they want to go. *Technically bankrupt: 10 years of experience, never seen anything like that in my whole carrier.

Pros

Nice colleagues to work with

Cons

Toxic work environment, management in Portugal say yes to everything that comes from France, without questioning it. This causes overload in the employees, a very disorganized environment to work. Management only wants to please Paris without taking care of its employees.
