Pros

Mostly relaxed environment Lots of family and party events Possibility of working remotely or going to the office as you please (depending on the project)

Cons

No clear or relevant progression, professionally or salary-wise. Due to it's start-up like methodology some things that should be well defined, often aren't e.g: number of holidays, when you should take a sick day or not, etc. Lack of connection between HR, management and workers. Example: I've talked with my manager 2x in 3 years. I doubt he actually knows much about me, which makes it clear what my future is here. Salary is below the average in the field, 25% of it is not gross.

Pros

- Most people are friendly. - Many projects in the outsourcing model. - Budget for training and certifications. - Flexible work model. Most of the time is remote first. - The organization gives gifts. - A lot of events, allowing the bonding with colleagues. - It has a flexible extra 25 days, "non-working" days. - The recruitment process is pretty fast. - Specialists in silent pressure and quitting.

Cons

- Most of the information provided by HR in the interview is wrong or misleading. - Most "projects" are for outsourcing, although there are some opportunities with "close projects." - On contract, the work model is presencial, although it may be remote if the client allows it. The hybrid model is gaining fans. - Financial engineering in the proposal, in a way that seems interesting, but we will never gain annually the value proposed. - The daily allowances are not paid if you go on legal vacations or take the extra 25 nonworking days. - The base salary is meager. - There is no career plan to look for. - The budget for training and the certifications takes a lot of work. The training department needs to make it easier to use your budget. Although the interview states that you can use your budget for conferences and events, the truth isn't so. - There is an environment of censorship and a lack of transparency. - Proudly experts in silent quitting. - There is a culture of not setting goals or milestones to achieve. No one is incentivized to study, do training, or do certifications. - The organization works hard not to pay the incentives for good performance. Either by hiring/client/project referral, certifications, or training. - Lack of communication with managers and the workforce. They ignore the worker "complaints," expecting them to go away with time. - They lack ethics, common sense, and empathy. People get bullied at their pleasure and do organic shamming across partners. - Most Directors are not truthful or honest. The same for HR department. - Your opinion matters, as long you don't have one or you agree with your manager.
