Pros – New company in the US, decisions made quickly but lack overall direction. Great new office space with new equipment and hardware.
Cons – Forget it if you don't speak Portugese, got yelled at for leaving 15 minutes early, no training, only 4 vacation & personal days per year - no benefits. Bring your lunch - cafe downstairs is very expensive.
Advice to Senior Management – Communicate with employees - let us know what the final expectations are.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – There are no pro's in this company if you want to work in Miami.... The owners lied to everyone that came on board from the get go. It was so blatant that every employee they had either left or put themselves in a position where it was clear they needed to go. Their technical team has no work to do and is cut off from the world with no guidance. Their entire offering as a company is a combination of a smoke screen pretending to have a 24-7 security presence and misinformed or borderline plagiarism in their technical offerings to clients. The owners are some of the most calous and dishonest people to ever open up a shop. It's also clear that the two posts " 5 weeks " ago were written by their upper management to overshadow the negative review that they received. The verbage is so obvious as to who wrote it that it could be pulled out of emails. The only " Pro " about this company is that they are transparent in their business dealings and will not succeed in a US market so the chances of them affecting more potential future employees lives negatively by bringing them on board are minimal
Cons – This company is a dead end/black hole to anyone who has any aspirations for achievment and makes it vividly clear in their dealings with their people that their " team " comes dead last. This company's way of handling their affairs both client facing and with their employees is the gold standard of what not to do if you want to succeed and want your people to excel.
Advice to Senior Management – Adapt to your host country and stop treating your employees like slaves and be more honorable in the way you handle yourselves.
