Pros

Well-paid. Located worldwide so many possibilities to growth. Dynamic job. Not boring at all.

Cons

8hours shift run non stopped plus time before/after shift to work on documentation, overall 12h of work a day ( if you lucky). Work-life balance all messed up. The shifts are not well organized so it leads to the managerial line to run many different shifts on a same week. The 'old people' in the Company are entries from 6 months ago which doesn't know how to react in front of difficult situations but covering their own back. The toxicity of the enviroment is something you can feel from all levels. Managerial positions are mantain by tattling. People showing many faces and trying to emerge even if that costs the job of colleagues.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
