- Generally young team, great to work with
- Well located (Rio) office
- Competitive salary, benefits and stock options

Cons
- Company has outgrown its "startup" status, to become a hierarchical machine
- C-levels don't interact with the team, and are distant from the daily routine. When present, they are intimidating
- Major tactical decisions constantly being made by the execs. Even with the evolving processes, top-down intervention and micro-management is frequent
- Claims of ownership and creative freedom are anulled by a conservative, risk-averse, competitor-centric strategy
- Physically scattered teams can raise communication barriers, and be an obstacle for lean development
