Pros
Excellent technology choice, and great opportunity to learn with one of the most accessed websites in Brazil. Also it has a good office location and nice benefits

Too much hierarchy, not agile at all and some teams work with high pressure . Usually we don’t have much choice on where the product roadmap leads us
Advice to Management
Give more ownership to the teams

Pros
globo.com is an awesome company to work in the latest technologies - Huge number of DAU - Great products to work with - Usage of the most updated technologies
Cons
- Too much hierarchy - No AGILE at all, it is more like a software house company - The company is too much segmented, you don't have any kind of relation with the marketing team for instance - Product Owners act like they are managers and not part of the team
Advice to Management
Less hierarchy and more independent teams based on the products, let people own and feel that the product is actually theirs, that will make them work with love and based on data it will make the company be even better

Communication between stakeholders and management doesn't flow very well and sometimes generates software that does not meet all business requirements.

Management could be renovated, recycled and reduced.

Pros
Awesome place to work, with great investments on people.
Cons
The decentralized model (which I like) makes the company look like it has many companies inside it, and you may be lucky to work in the light side of the company, or maybe you're out of lucky and go straight to the dark side it :-(
Advice to Management
Improve the exchange of information between different teams inside the company, to make management more uniform, while keeping the decentralized model.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Grupo Globo full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Challenging problems to solve. Good technical level of the team. Build things that millions of people will use. Great work environment. Budget for international conferences
Cons
To many politics and waste of time. You do a lot of stuff that will never be used. The traffic to get to the office. Bonus based on an evaluation with no clear definitions. The TV branch company has to much power inside the web company. Salaries bellow the average. Budget for international conferences always getting smaller.
