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.

Pros

It’s a great place to learn how the financial and credit card works, also the clojure language although at be first could be challenging (if you are coming from a OOP world) once you get used to it opens your mind, could benefit as experience for a major seniority in your career.

Cons

The payment is not good, considering the amount of work, also the opportunities to grow in the company are not equally for everyone, it relies heavily on the managers criteria and not in your actual accountable work

Pros

- State of the art in tech and, when not, takes great effort to be - Great culture, where everyone can be listened to and, if a cultural problem exists and is identified and exposed, it is immediately pursued to be fixed. - Efficiency and pragmatism, focusing in solving problems while optimizing time and effort - Performance is carefully measured to provide evidence for career decisions, and we do have great career opportunities if you know how to align your goals with the company's

Cons

- Different teams will have different priorities and value different qualities in a professional. This means that your strengths will not always shine where you are and you may need to spend a lot of effort to even compare to people who sell their work better, even if you do a better job. - Although performance is measured, the metric can be highly manipulated to impress different people. This can lead to unfair calibration between different professionals, biasing towards people with better communication or social influence. - It's difficult to balance work-life-balance when it's incentivized to achieve higher standards in order to pursue a promotion, and the only way to do that sometimes is through competing with people that are doing that through burning them out. I say sometimes because a carefully managed routine can achieve that, but this is not the reality in some scenarios.
