Pros

The most outstanding thing in Salsa is a great team, full of very knowledgeable, smart and curious people. It's also fully remote with just a consideration on timezones, which is a big win for me. There's a lot of thought put into the roadmap, everything we build has a great impact either for our partners or for our internal operations. Transparency is a key value, and all the news & latest information is always shared with everyone. I specially enjoy the technical challenges we face, the debates on how to tackle them, and the drive of the team to find the best solutions within our time frame. There's space to express oneself, consider and be creative, despite our constant very high speeds in the pipeline. Plus, it's very exciting to be part of a company that's betting on a pretty recent niche when everything seems to be rolling super nicely and everyone is winning!

Cons

There's soo many things to do, with little time to do them and a small-ish team, which means we have to constantly juggle our projects. In other words we must be comfortable with quick turnarounds. Work being so impactful, it's hard to let go sometimes, so we need to take care here. Being fully remote proves difficult sometimes to celebrate our wins, for a company with such big wins, I feel like we could do a bit more :)

Pros

Working at Salsa has overall been a great experience. One of the most compelling aspects is the opportunity to do impactful work—the projects I contribute to genuinely make a difference and have a visible effect on the company’s success. I’m surrounded by smart, driven people who challenge me to grow and bring innovative ideas to the table, making every day a learning experience. I also appreciate how much I’m empowered to own my work. There is a strong culture of trust and autonomy, allowing me to take full responsibility for my projects and make meaningful decisions. Additionally, the company genuinely has your back—in times of need, leadership is supportive, understanding, and willing to step in to help. This creates a collaborative and compassionate work environment where employees feel valued both personally and professionally.

Cons

While the work is fulfilling, it does come with long hours, especially during critical project phases. The high standards and fast-paced environment can demand extra time and energy. Another area for improvement is the lack of a clearly defined career path. Although there are opportunities to grow, the trajectory for advancement isn’t always clear-cut, which can make long-term career planning within the company a bit challenging.
