Pros

- great company to start your career - some mature projects - salary for some people - job rotation - annual performance evaluations

Cons

- you're doing everything even if you're not supposed to (eg: development even though you're on an operations job) - proactiveness is encouraged but never praised or recognized - lack of work - balance (this was completely removed when the new management moved in last summer - yes i'm looking at you JOAO) - even though the international language in the company is english you're forced to deal with other languages in internal documents - lack of proper leadership and really bad management caused a lot of good old people to leave, including myself - you will not be given any compensations for anything you do extra, you will not even be recognized in any way (only the key people will, no matter how hard you try) - even if you're understaffed on your platform the management does not care as long as it puts more pressure on you but everything is working fine and you're doing the job of two people - they prefer to hire new guys that are totally unprepared and on low salaries than to promote or give a raise to older more qualified people that to the job perfectly, as long as they're cutting costs

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
