Pros

It’s a good job and has an opportunity to grow

Cons

Current managers are useless unfortunately. They only hire and promote people they know rather than the real talent . They love blocking others from advancing and are systematically destroying the company with bad hires . Product managers at perten are not serious. Not only oblivious but also careless! Competitors are taking the business and it’s a consequence to hiring people with no experience

Pros

Benefícios minimamente decentes, considerando o mercado em São Paulo capital.

Cons

Gerência desorganizada a todos os níveis: times, regiões, países, global. Cultura de ignorar e perpetuar problemas processuais amplanente conhecidos. Maturidade em processos envolvendo dados inexistente. "Suporte" de TI meramente decorativo. Incompatibilidade entre demandas, prazos, infraestrutura fornecida e especificidade de definição de cargos.

Once a great workplace, now plagued by poor management

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
