Pros

It never fires employees. Good salary compared to IT companies in Brazil.

Cons

Speaking for the IT, it doesn't value the professionals and it doesn't take advantage of what professionals know. It treats the professionals as if they were all the same and equally capable of doing anything. Everything is decided based on how it will look like to other managers, so everything has a political context and strong bias, may it be on the information they publish or the decisions they make. Sometimes they hurt the company so they don't look bad on the photo.

Pros

The company Petrobras Distribuidora, is a large company in the distribution chain petrole derivatives. I dedicate this company but 10 years of experience , commitment and tireless search for the best and latest technologies . However what makes me go in search of better job opportunities is the nefarious action that the current Brazilian government has made to the company. This makes seek better job opportunities and living for me and my family .

Cons

The only disadvantage of working at Petrobras Distribuidora, is the current model and interfenrencia that the Brazilian government , the company's controller has imposed . There is no more recognition for the dedication of the official , but the political merits .
