Pros

You get to work with very skilled people in different areas and you get to learn a lot from them. Good office space with free coffee and fresh fruit.

Cons

What you can expect: When the annual salary revision comes you get nothing, Lot of stressful work, mainly due bad management, even if the major employees are Project managers. An human resources policy that's all about to take you down, so you don't have the morale to ask for a raise. Career management depends on your relationship with CEO and top management and involves a lot of flattering, otherwise expect to work three or more years with the same position and salary. You will see a lot of cool company pictures with people" having fun" on social media.

Pros

The development team and the projects

Cons

It is a technology company, factory-minded. The CEO is the real "boss" in the Portuguese way and thinks he fools everyone with the small talk of "I really like my people." Do not like. Hates them. He sees the collaborators as idiot kids. People are constantly watched, in secret, through the most childish and obsolete forms. Every day, the Direction shoots lies by mouth, there is no professionalism, there is no honor, there is no ethics at all. There, in order to survive, it is necessary to know how to pretend and how to manipulate people. There will be colleagues of yours, posted to watch over you (what you have opened on the computer, with whom you talk and about what, with whom you have lunch, etc.). We are called to meetings behind closed doors to find out who is talking badly about the CEO or not, intrigues to test us, people are treated poorly, based on humiliation, fear, pressure on nothing. It's not a company. It is a factory that lives of connects. Now, with a new name, they present brutal projects to candidates. But do not be deceived: the projects are brutal, but they want carpenters to do it. They pay well, but there is no career management (only if you were CEO´s best friend). And watch out for the quiet "bosses": they'll be doing the "good cops" role ;) There is a climate of cold war, in which the pressure is invisible, until the day that someone goes and demands the whole world, "just because". It is a dysfunctional company, only because the person who runs that is a horrible person.

Pros

Very capable and competent team.

Cons

Shady management more concerned with appearances than reality. Chaotic team structure and lacklustre senior managers. A established team culture that confuses loyalty with obedience and subjugation. Overtime is to be expected, and to deny doing extra hours is big no-no. Employees will never ever be truly trusted.
