Pros
international environment, the SLS- Google project is interesting if language technology is your thing.
Cons
No gender or nationality diversity in top management positions, poor people and organization skills from the Management team, whose believes about employer-employee relation are dated and inadequate for a international environment. Lack of transparency with regard salaries and career progression - 90% of the team comes from abroad, most of us have been lied upon arrival with the promise of low income would be sufficient to cover a proper living condition in Lisbon area, which is as expensive as any other European city, they also fail to provide clarity on income taxes and social security deductions applied in the host country, which are quiet high. Considering no Portuguese language was required, I would expect more pro-activity from HR and recruitment team to come forward at the early stage of the negotiation. I want to highlight most of the people in the team had been in the role for less than 3 before the pandemic escalated, thus not having proper set up houses. so during the Covid-19 lock down we haven't been offered assistance nor money in case we need to source office materials (desk, chair and/or internet). Since the lock down there has been only 1 communication to the employees, then silence from the management team.
