Pros

Competitive benefits and okay pay

Cons

Too much to list all but main con was the terrible management in the US corp office. Very disappointing. If I owned stock, I’d cash it in after Insaw the way they treat their employees

Pros

- Interesting, large and engaging projects. Great opportunity for project managers - Good culture based on transparency and trust. - The team in Porto is very young and dynamic. - Flexible working hours, possibility for home office (even without covid), extra vacation days and other nice perks

Cons

- Middle management changes are very frequent - Salary could be better and salary progression is not good enough - Company structure and processes are highly (and unnecessary) complex which can lead to frustration

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is decent, working conditions aren't bad. Coworkers tend to be pretty great. Acceptable in the current economy.

Cons

Typical corporate issues. Nepotism. Favoritism. Lack of clear advancement opportunities. Unknowledgeable and uncaring management. Employee surveys are just an attempt at making employees think they matter and have a say. IT is awful. Nothing too unusual.
