Pros

- The technology. - The people. - The IT. - The salary. - Restaurant card, transport card, private health insurance. - 100% remote. - 100% English.

Cons

- The mentoring program: make sure your mentor is from your team. - The mentoring program: follow blindly and only what your mentor says, even if it conflicts with your team's interests. Otherwise, you will get fired no matter you do next. - I was not interviewed by my team or leader, but by other team's. Therefore, when I entered my actual team, the conditions were different. For example: - In the interview, I asked if they followed scrum or any agile methodology. They said yes. Turned out to be a complete lie.

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
