Allows you to innovate and research, but poor management - Development Lead Despegar.com Employee Review

Pros

Developers have room to explore and propose new technologies and paradigms and apply them on actual implementations, which is something most developers crave for in a job. Some teams have a really good working environment.

Cons

Facilities are call-center like and not at all comfortable. Development leaders tend to be chosen by their technical skills almost exclusively, not taking into account whatever soft skills they may have for team management. Poor communication from upper management thus information flows are mostly informal: by the time an official announcement is made (if ever) all the company already knows about it.
