Pros

After the second year, employees receive a 9% savings contribution, which is a great long-term benefit. Generous vacation policy: 24 days off per year, which supports work-life balance. International and diverse work environment, with opportunities to collaborate across regions.

Cons

There is no health leave policy (sick leave is not officially recognized or paid). Flexibility highly depends on your supervisor — some are supportive, others much less so. The health insurance stipend is very low compared to actual healthcare costs. Limited opportunities for internal mobility or promotion, especially for consultants and temporary staff.

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.
