Pros

Good opportunity if you're starting to work on IT

Cons

Low salary Old technology A lot if bad "mexican boss behavior" They don't ask, you just wake up, and the suddenly you got a 24/7 (including holidays) responsibility for on~call support. And yes you're also a developer at the same time and you have same salary. Did you have vacations on those days? Who cares, go and change your plans that managment ask you to save 13 weeks before. Work phone? What is that? Give your personal number to client so they can call you 24/7. Oh and if you need any help from the owner of the app go call him with your own phone. They ask you to work 40 hours, and you only register 40 hours. But you are also obligated to work 48 hours if they want. No extra hours payment. 100 dollars penalization, if you don't finish in one month a course they ask you to finish in 4 months ( you can get 6 of them at same time) These are some small letters that you can see on contract or somethings that they just started implementing

Pros

It’s one of the biggest companies about technology around the world, good salary, long and deep trainee (3 months), it’s a nice start on IT world if you don’t have any experience.

Cons

Stressful and demanding job depending on the season, unrealistic metrics, bad team leads and the managers, well hard to know what they do.
