Pros

Nice new office; Very nice people; Ok discount for some lines of products (not electronics); Flexibel workspace and hours;

Cons

Promotions and job advancement is limited to those pleasing the right people; Constant changes in management and strategy that never seem to deliver desired results; Location of office in Sao Paulo ; New office (without fixed desk) does not have enough space for everyone, so there are days that you get there and there is no where for you to sit; A lot of dead (and expensive) wood that does not get the right treatment, which takes motivation from those working hard; Dutch incompetent employees are "untouchable", even though their work needs to be redone by others; HR is not trusted by employees and does not care about it. Health plan keeps getting worse and worse to save costs. Feeling that the boat is sinking and no one at the helm to stir it to the right direction and save the ship;

Cons

- Bad tangible benefits, with bench mark at the 50% quartile. - Less chance to get promotion, which taking a very long path. - Lay back environment will make you sleep. - Job rotations that giving you a higher responsibily with no change of your pay. - Unfairness varies from each department. - Old birds with no contribution can takes their own sweet time to wait for company package (more than 10 years). - ONE IT Services sux, 3 weeks to 2 months to get an user ID created. A simple request need to route few levels to get reply (or totally no reply).
