Pros

- not too much pressure - some interesting clients - many great colleagues

Cons

- politics thrive in the company. You have to have no ethical boundaries in order to build a career. - There is no focus on the technical skills. Soft skills are the dominant factor in order to level up, although most of the employees are engineers. - The assesment procedures are never taken into consideration, even if someone has explicitly positive reviews from the customer and the colleagues. You might even see people with many negative reviews being promoted out of the blue. - All processes are very clumsy and improvised. From trainings to hr management and also payments. - its very difficult to pass your personal opinion to the upper management, as there are specific people who operate as blockades and present a non realistic perspective of the situation. - the values that the company claims to have are not respected by the middle management.

Agile Actors Response
7y
We dream to be an environment where we, Tech Professionals, will evolve and grow, through experiences in global organisations, and we will continuously practice and learn new technologies and behaviours that will make each of us effective and satisfied. Agile Actors is an ecosystem of people that believe and actively practice our values and professional coaching. These values are being cultivated by our members. There is no middle management. There are coaches and coachees. A senior Tech Professional may be the coach of 3 or 4 junior or intermediate Tech Professionals. These professionals most of the times do not work in the same team with their coach, thus their relationship can be more open. We grew from a few dozen people to more than 300 in less than four years, and although we put most of our investment and efforts in learning and coaching, we certainly get better and better as time passes by, and we practice how to unlearn and learn technologies but more importantly behaviours. This ecosystem is getting more and more self adjusted, and the leadership of each member can certainly influence it, and evolve it to an appropriate place for people with similar needs. It happens that some of us may practice coaching with limited success for a period of time. Our main focus is how to reduce these incidents, and how to evolve to a more effective ecosystem. Many of the improvements we’ve achieved until now stemmed from the leadership of people that were going through difficulties similar to the ones you have experienced. Through proposing, influencing, and leading, you make this place more appropriate for you, and also for people that have similar needs to yours.

Pros

The opportunities for both personal and professional growth are significant. The company culture is excellent, with a team of people who are genuinely eager to learn, improve, and grow. Work-life balance is consistently strong, though it can vary slightly depending on the client.

Cons

The salary is competitive, though there is some room for improvement. Some accounts could be better organized, but the company is supportive and offers alternatives, including the possibility of changing clients.
