Pros

The team is great, good people working together. We have a lot of Ruby on Rails project and some mobile projects. In the center of Lisbon and we have a great roof terrace to enjoy on sunny days. We also have offices in Coimbra (center of Portugal). We can work from home from time to time. We use english as our main language.

Cons

The work culture and work ethics is terrible. We have a punishment room where people are reprimanded by their bad options/actions. The top manager have bully attitudes and is extremely inconsistent, impulsive, disrespectful and always critical. People have fear of mistakes and this affects the work morale and performance. The company tends to contract people for senior positions and the professional progression... is inexistent for current employees (we can only be intermediate or senior developers). It is not always easy to have the vacations period approved, and when it is approved it seems a favor that the company is making to you. It appears that is a bonus that they are giving to you. People are looking outside for better career options.

Advice to Management

To trust more in the team. Provide more career progression opportunities. Money is important, but people are more important. Is the people that brings the money to the company. Management needs to review the way they deal with people.
