Pros

Pay is the only good thing in this company, but you will have to fight for it. Delays delays delays

Cons

organisation and structure. You go on baja - they forget you are back and cut down you salary in half, just because they did not notice you are back. Dont expect that things will be resolved fast, because HR, Payroll and management are on the different parts of the world and different timezones. As soon as I said I am leaving the company, they decided not to pay me for November. My whole team received the salary apart from me. Any issue you have - you have to fight for it. They dont care if you have bills to pay or family to feed. I dont even expect a finiquito from them, literally my hopes about this place are the lowest.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
