      Decent teams but management lost control

      Software developer
      Recommend

      Business outlook

      Pros

      There are some interesting projects with a nice team. Good first place to learn if you're starting your career. In most teams there's room to learn from mistakes without getting punished for it.

      Cons

      Career progression seems to be slowing down compared to previous years. Fake work time flexibility and autonomy culture. There's rigid control of in office presence. Evaluation metrics for raises or career progression are not clear and sometimes are applied without much sense. You could be the best developer and do everything right but if you are slightly below the office attendance you might get perks cut and not get a raise in that year regardless of everything else that you did. Seems like a soft layoff attempt.

      Great company overall. Would recomment it to pretty much anyone, specially in early career.

      Pros

      Good environment Good people Good work-life balance Good workload Good career progression (specially if you are a strong dev coming out of college) Can take responsibilities if you ask for it, even if you are surrounded with more senior teammates.

      Cons

      Two days in office (three for entry level devs) - I strongly prefer full remote, but office(Porto) is good and people are great. Among the "best companies", salary leaves a little bit to be desired.

      A Culture of Autonomy with non-linear growth paths

      Product owner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Working for the company offers several benefits, including a flat organizational structure, a culture centered on Agile frameworks, flexibility, quality, and self-management, as well as full autonomy over professional development supported by a dedicated budget and continuous training opportunities.

      Cons

      The drawbacks include a hybrid work model that might feel overly restrictive compared to the company's flexible culture, a challenging career progression where technical growth is less linear due to roles being closely tied to development teams, and slowing salary increases that, while still market-aligned, have become less competitive over time.

      Pros

      Very talented colleagues and collaborative environment. Exciting products with strong technical challenges. Great exposure to BMW projects and large-scale systems. Supportive team spirit and good culture at the base.

      Cons

      Career progression is slow and difficult. Promotions and recognition are not always transparent. Limited opportunities to step up into senior roles. Can feel stuck despite delivering strong results.
