Pros

Technical staff is top notch. Responsible and hands-on.

Cons

Company is completely paralyzed by political ties and private individual interests of managers. Management prefers to postpone decisions that could and should have been made months ago. Outsourced staff runned the operations and processes. They have almost all been layed-off. Actual staff dominates less than 50% of the knowledge to run the business.

Pros

As it's a mixed economy company in Brazil, you can only get to be an employee through a public selection process that involves a test. Because of that, the education level of the employees is relatively high. The salary is usually a little above market and it has (almost) stability. You'll only get fired if you commit a crime.

Cons

The company culture, specially among those with more than 10 years on it, is close to a inefficiently state company. A lot of bureaucracy and extremelly slow processes. Despite of that, it's still a government controlled company, so the goal of the company isn't simply to be profitable.
