Pros
The Portuguese HR Team/Recruiters are good liars. They excel on selling lies about the projects
Cons
I was working on another company for +15 years with a very comfortable career. I received a invitation to join Iten/Claranet as a Project Manager for a big Portuguese client. I had my fears about this move but the HR Team guaranteed me that I was going to work in a good team, managing other skilled developers, being able to deliver what was intended for the project. Also, I live around 2 hours drive away from the clients location, so I was rest assure there was no need of going frequently to cleints location. After quitting my job and on the first day, I found that my project team were in fact 2 inter developers with ablolutelly lo experience, as also some outsourced developers who were assign to this project without having any engagement or interest in it. As if this wasn’t enough, I find that the client “changed” their demand about the project manager, requiring my presence EVERYDAY on clients location around 8 AM for unnecessary meetings, forcing me to go through 2 hours rush hour traffic every morning. After 2 weeks I left the company with no job, no career path and a family to carry.!
