Pros

Work from home Flexible schedule Multiple teams and technologies.

Cons

- Low payment, below the average. - They lowball you when negotiating your salary. - Their annual evaluation called '360 Evaluation' is just their way to make very low or no raises. - Micromanagement. - Once a project finishes they mostly fire the people. - You have to provide 30 days' notice when leaving, but they don't give you any notice, and if your contract says they will give you, they don't do it aiming lack of performance from you. This is very unprofessional if not illegal. - My manager didn't support the team, the company says you can change from one project to another, but this is not true, once you want to change for any reason, valid or not, they will mark you with an X and you better look for another job. - There are cases where you enter the company as a middle-level engineer or mid-senior, but they will tell the client you are senior, this is very unprofessional. - I received a laptop from the company, but more than half of my team used their personal computers.

Pros

- Flexible hours - Building with many facilities(Gym, Cafeteria, Game room) - Work environment in general is good, people used to help each other - Work stability

Cons

- Poor salary compared to other companies in the area, not to mention compared to other countries, specially if you already have experience and you are no longer a junior developer. - Evaluations(360) each year as an excuse to do not raise your salary, each year they made one with your peers, then reviewed with your Lead and/or manager to see if it exceeds expectations, if so then they decide to award you with a "generous" 5%, it can take years to obtain a decent increment - Company praises they have a culture of values like respect, reciprocity but they not, they prefer to throw they money in failures as "home made smartphones" and other stuff before raise the lower earnings of their employees - Difficult to obtain a Parking lot. - They do not really value their former employees that have been working extra hours for free during years, but when they hire someone else from outside they have more benefits than you, like a reserved parking lot - it is okay as starting point to work to get some experience, If all that you like is work stability and you don't care about getting a competitive salary with other companies, then this place if for you.

Pros

they can get you big clients i guess

Cons

cultist like behavior on older employees, nothing tops jalasoft attitude they made up positions to avoid making you a senior even if your client considers you a senior jalasoft wont do so, sio you don't get paid, they don't tell you this giant teams where you don't even work on the same system as your coworkers prey on the 'need to get my foot on the door' mentality of juniors
