Pros

For brazilians, the benefits are good. They provide a health plan with good coverage and a meal voucher, though not as good as other companies. Experience with foreign languages (English, French) in a professional work environment opens doors for the international market.

Cons

There are immense problems with micromanagement, inequality in the treatment of employees (way of communicating, salaries and benefits, inclusion in events), systematic encouragement of in-fighting between teams, promoting a toxic and hostile environment, outdated and slow work equipment, and being an intrinsically nepotic company, with lots of family drama from the owner intoxicating the company. Many of those problems were already very relevant years ago, and today all the flaws described above are more valid than ever, if not exacerbated. But in recent months, a whole new range of problems have surfaced. Promises of flexible work models were shattered, with a full company-wide mandatory return to office, all the while transport allowances were simultaneously cut. This process was drastic and unexpected, and there was a complete lack of preparation on all parts of management, causing an immense feeling of distrust, insecurity and neglect. RTO, by the way, was only implemented in the brazilian office at the moment, for reasons unknown. Brazilians recently also were made required to clock-in and out every day, through facial recognition at the office. Those have not been applied in the canadian office, though wouldn't be surprised if it comes soon. The monumental efforts made by the employees actually aggregating value to the company, despite ongoing efforts from the upper management to dismantle us, were recognized with at best a mere inflation adjustment, given only to the few who reached the highest tier of our annual reviews; to the majority, the raises were even more pathetic. In Brazil, the highest level was already covered by law, so really, there was no real incentive to do anything but the bare minimum. In Canada, some were penalized with further reductions from their raises because they were not going to the office at least twice a week, even though they were promised that they could keep working 100% remotely just less then a month before. With a staggering sharp increase in turnovers recently, rest assured it's because pretty much everyone realized we reached a point of no return. Do not bother listening to whatever lies they tell you when giving a job offer, just dismiss them right away.

Pros

Been there long enough to see its ups and downs, and for the last few years its only been down (except maybe some months of 2024). The team that used to work there was amazing and now there aren't many left with the motivation to keep the flame up.

Cons

Absolutely no considerations/recognition from the stakeholder, he changes its speech every day or so. The vision becomes blurred every time he tries to take over the product roadmap. We used to have better social advantages prior to Covid, and that was with an accountant being the HR at the same time. Now we supposely have someone with HR experiences and its never been worst.

Pros

The one truly positive aspect of my experience at this company has been the incredible colleagues I’ve had the privilege to work with.

Cons

Over the past year, my team and I worked tirelessly, consistently exceeding expectations and meeting our objectives. However, instead of being met with trust and flexibility, we were asked to return to the office under strict and inflexible conditions—communicated with little notice. This decision, while perhaps operationally driven, felt abrupt and signaled a lack of trust in our ability to perform remotely. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated event, but part of a broader pattern of sudden policy shifts and top-down decisions that affected morale and productivity. The environment has often felt unpredictable, contributing to a sense of instability and fatigue among employees. As a result, many highly committed team members have chosen to leave. Despite their contributions, leadership has seemed more focused on pursuing a new vision than on retaining experienced staff. The lack of transparency around these transitions has been particularly discouraging. I sincerely hope things improve for those who remain, my experience was ultimately not a positive one. I share this in hopes that it provides helpful perspective to others exploring opportunities here.
