Pros

Hard to say, I hate this company and what it stands for

Cons

They make you work 8 hours on the "client" and make you work a few extra hours per week in tedious after-hours meetings, worthless case-studies and media articles, all of them are effectively non-paid labour. In return there's an internal currency called "love" (not a joke unfortunantly), so in return of your hard work outside of the client, you may see your "love counter" increase on your internal profile page (woohoo). The thing is: In Portugal most actual "client companies" are getting rid of their own workforce and in turn paying low rates to these "meatshops" so that they can cut employment ties with their workers while maintaining a fresh new workforce. These consulting companies are vultures around the fact that a big portion of the Portuguese IT job market agrees to low wages in order to avoid emigrating into more advantageous job markets elsewhere in the EU. This company in particular is especially vicious as it doesn't limit itself to take a fee from assigning a resource to a client company, it charges the resource with unpaid non-business hours (meetings at 10 pm....ffs).

Pros

Career plan, some benefits, pay is slightly above average, people matter, flexibility to switch clients and even roles in the company, relationship with colleagues, always accompanied by a manager.

Cons

Sometimes you land on a lousy client and sometimes it takes a while to change; part of the salary comes from expenses; hard to evolve without going that extra mile in kind of a "pro bono" way.

Pros

Could work in a remotely some days (hybrid work), good team environment and overall company environment. The company had some very nice iniciatives to get the consultants and the office staff together, be it through company events, or group specific events (e.g. solidarity, sports, etc.)

Cons

Can't offer real remote work, only hybrid. The recruitment process takes too long.
