Pros

Plenty of food in the canteen and work/life balance

Cons

Disgusting internal politics, dodgy things going on, constant change of direction, no support whatsoever. I would not recommend working there to my worse enemy

Pros

Great product, always changing. Office spaces, perks like food and beverages

Cons

Latam team management creates drama and conflicts among employees to maintain their jobs safe. Very cliquey and is no secret that they hire friends and family, even for external vendors. In a company of that size, you'd think this is something to avoid. As the other review says, backstabbing is quite usual and goes around in the commercial team. You are offered someone jobs in exchange for throwing this person under the bus. Promotions are distributed for those who show who are capable of doing unethical behavior. You can get a promotion even if you haven't met the yearly target, as long as you are friends with the manager. HR is there to hide the dead bodies.

Horrific management

Pros

Strong business model, excellent growth potential. Dedicated peers and colleagues. Fun, generous CEO.

Cons

C-level executives are astonishingly bad at management. Google them and you will find proof. Their personal lives bleed into their professional work. The CFO and CMO are married. The CFO also runs HR. All misbehavior from C-level personnel is ignored. No regard for human resources policies, protocols, career development. Employees are disillusioned. Morale is low, and good people are quitting by the day.
