Pros

Salary, people know whats happening so we all support each other

Cons

This company will suck you down until you can’t get more of you. They will use you and after sometime if you are not into the “class” of the company, you are nothing. If you are gonna work here. Don’t do much for the company, they will never appreciate it or at least, thank you for the extra effort you do. Things are managed by people that doesn’t have a clue what is sell, support or marketing. Be prepare to work 24/7. They will force you to go to work saturdays, sundays and holidays! You will never have a holiday, because you will always have to be worry for the targets. Targets are not created by logic. This are created by just the “thought” of the person who manage this.they say x’s and x’s have to be done. Even if you are off or if its imposible to make. Think two times before apply.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It is very hard to hear that you felt underappreciated. We try our best to ensure that every team member feels recognised for their hard work. We also encourage all of our team members to use their annual leave. We believe it is important for everyone’s wellbeing to take time to switch off from work, relax and enjoy their much deserved holidays. We would never expect anyone to work on the weekend or during their holiday. Please reach out to me if you would like to discuss this further.

Pros

Having completed my first three months as a Senior Engineering Manager, my experience has been very positive so far. Excellent Culture: The organization fosters a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive culture where people are encouraged to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and work together toward common goals. Leadership is approachable, and there is a strong focus on transparency and continuous improvement. Great Team: I have had the opportunity to work with a highly talented, knowledgeable, and supportive team. Everyone is willing to help, share expertise, and contribute to collective success, making onboarding and collaboration seamless. Technology-Forward and Innovation-Driven, The company embraces modern technologies and remains technology-agnostic, selecting the best tools and platforms for the problem at hand rather than being tied to specific vendors. The organization is proactive in exploring emerging technologies, including cloud, platform engineering, and AI, which creates an exciting environment for learning and innovation. Overall, my first three months have reinforced that this is a great place to grow professionally while working on meaningful and technically challenging initiatives.

Cons

The hybrid work model requires employees to be in the office three days per week, which may not suit everyone. However, I personally appreciate the opportunity to collaborate face-to-face, build relationships, and connect with colleagues. Combined with the office perks and supportive environment, I do not currently have any major cons to report.
