Pros

The building is impressive (gym, daycare, health unit, cafeteria, auditorium, library, etc. ) Benefits and salaries are great (for employees).

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy and arrogant people. It takes like forever to get the simplest thing done. Good luck if you are able to secure a staff position, 99% of them are only for those who already have a friend or an acquaintance working there. Most of all operational processes are outdated and inefficient, but employees really don't care as long as they receive their juicy salaries.

Pros

- Good working experiences for LATAM people. - Very talented people from different countries. - Learning opportunities from different projects and resources. - Compensation to my needs is Ok.

Cons

- Some workers extremely overloaded. - Feeling or sense of fake urgency focused on anxiety instead of burocracy removal. - Sending emails or messages after hours and even overnight is NORMALIZED. Because is a sign that you are working more. - Leaving work on time is negatively seen. - There is a need to appear that you are working more than others so staying late, or getting home to work is the rule. - Human resources is not addressing this cultural problems but is silently impacting employees. - Competitive environment that sometimes could be toxic.
