Pros

I really enjoyed my team mates, they were very helpful and friendly. The company organizes a lot of social activities what is very positive to met colleagues from other departments and have a more personal connection. Very good location.

Cons

The worst management ever, it starts from the CEO and infects all directors. In this company no one could have personal opinion or try to be innovative, to work there you just have to say yes to everything the CEO asks (almost all the times are completely worthless!). Your work is never recognize, you’re always consider just one more if you don’t want to do it, they just pick someone else. All the news and good things on media are false. Bad salaries. Promises of an international career lies, in most of the other countries they just have the mail box. They control everything about you and your personal life (facebook, company chat, email etc).

Pros

The company has a good product that can possibly pick up traction in the US market. But they need to refine their strategy

Cons

No training, no support. It took about 3 days to get in touch with anyone in the company. incorrect reimbursement. incorrect compensations. miscommunication about paid time off/vacation days. Given less days than first mentioned.

Pros

- Office is very well located for Lisbon area. - Free water and some fruits. - Nice PC. - It’s a good opportunity for junior developers for a maximum of 6 months - after this period, it’s better to find something else. - If you are very very lucky, you can get some project on Symfony 2 for some months, but it's very rare.

Cons

- Overtimes will never count, and this is considered as a standard practice. - You’ll be working with «very» recent and an updated stack of software with PHP 5.1 and Symfony 1.4 - Back to the Future. - You’ll have lots of security and architect issues that you will need fix, or maybe add some more, because they don't care about it. - Nice project management where most of things should be done for yesterday and normally without well structured requirements specification. - Best HR department I’ve ever seen; they do nothing for employees’ needs. - The company’s schedule is flexible, but only if you stay after schedule to do more overtimes, if you need time for personal issues or if you arrive late because of traffic problems or such, be advised that you’ll be facing problems. - There’s no access to Wi-Fi, because it’s believed that is a security liability. - Forget about your career here, even on contract renewal negotiation; they only raise you if you found another company paying more I hope this is enough to provide an understanding of what this company looks like inside, with their lies and wonderful marketing, such as: "We are best place to work".
