Pros

Nenhum, são horriveis em tudo.

Cons

Esta malta de paço de arco, já anda a procurar uma vaga para software engineer há mais de 8 meses. Dispararam a vaga para todas as consultoras. Bem, eles não devem fazer nenhum se têm tanto tempo para fazer tanta entrevista. Infelizmente o conhecimento e a atitude que demonstraram durante a entrevista foi muito mediocre. Perguntam ao candidato o que é polimorfismo, MAS eles não sabem o que é HAHAHAAHAHAHA. Isto é de uma vergonha incrivel. Isto é malta que pensa que sabe e já tem dezenas de anos de experiências, mas não se atualizam. Muito medriocre e de um amadorismo preocupante. Evitem. Se quiserem trabalhar na última liga, força.
