(They however go through a lot of reorganizations and you might end up in a smaller team after a while). sometimes there are unnecessary meetings. the parking area in Porto office is badly managed, you may not get a spot. public transportation to Porto office is not good. depending on your preference, working on open office could be overwhelming.
