Pros
- cool offices - friendly co-workers - Big name clients - Opportunity to practice your English since most of the clients are from USA
Cons
At the end Globant is just an outsourcing company, so they don't care at all how good you are at your work, just how much they can charge for you. Don't expect to be recognised because your performance or for going the extra mile. Their ideal employee is a junior that they can sell as a senior one. The career opportunities are few, especially if you don't work in Buenos Aires. The company used to have great projects, but this has changed a lot. The main focus today is to get boring maintenance projects in order to get a more stable/predictable revenue. If you are a developer they can assign you to projects in technologies that you don't know: PHP devs assigned to PERL/JAVA projects. The extra hours are not usually paid. If your PM says it will pay for them ask for a email specifying how many and for how much, several co-workers were screwed because they didn't have any written proof. The working conditions/benefits were slowly degrading: currently the working from home policy exits only in paper, the health care provider was changed for a worse one, salary increases are worse than ever. Training is non existing/awful for anything but English classes: they are OK but depends a lot in the teacher that you get. Sometimes is just a kid that is a native speaker but has no experience / training teaching anything. The travel opportunities right now are reduced unless you already have a USA Visa since they are having problems getting them for their employees (this is happening since 2014 at least) Negotiate a great initial salary because the increases are a joke.
