Pros

The company is growing a lot. There are good benefits, even though they could be better. Real feel of being at a place that is having a positive impact. Smart colleagues.

Cons

After a few days of joining the company and being promised that I would be taught everything, I got assigned my first project with cero support. My buddy completely forgot about me and my manager threw me to the pool without any tools to survive. It was clear that my manager had something against me, as I was the only man in the team full of women. I was rarely responded to on Slack and I was also the only person in the team that didn't speak Portuguese, and they consistently spoke in Portuguese in meetings having no regard of me. Even so, I managed to push through and deliver by using external help. After going through their horrible onboarding (everything is in Portuguese so had to teach myself everything regarding technical skills when they promised they would teach me) I actually got positive feedback from my manager. However, after three months of joining the team and I got put on a PIP without any feedback or real plan to get out of it. I tried talking to HR about it, but the person that hired me got fired in the same timeframe. Regardless, I tried to push through it, but having my manager having a bias against me, the decision was made leaving me with no real choice. After a few months I got fired with no feedback or real evaluation. Talking with other people in the company, I found out this is a common practice with this manager and specially amongst BAs. This company will dispose of BA's as if they're toys. Your experience will vary drastically depending on how lucky you are with what manager you get. Before accepting an offer triple check who you are going to work with by reaching out to references or people who have worked at the company before. Really high expectations and really competitive. Impostor syndrome will get you. Not easy to grow. (very bureaucratic promotion process) Most teams are globalized (people from everywhere, mostly brazil) which can play as a double edged sword. Brazil has a too strong influence on the product and the teams for Mexico and Colombia. BAs are considered easily disposable employees and have a lot of rotation. Generally people don't speak very good english. Onboarding is a nightmare, they don't have a structured onboarding and overwhelm you with information.
