Pros
  1. Strong and peculiar culture, which is part of daily life and not just on paper.
  2. Consolidated practices of operational excellence and software quality.
  3. People who know a lot and will raise your professional bar.
  4. Technologically and professionally challenging work.
  5. Clear and well-defined career progression.
  6. Collaborative environment.
  7. Periodic check-ins with the manager.
  8. Learn AWS.
Cons
  1. Self-service culture is sometimes a bit exaggerated. There could be better support, especially for those who are just starting.
  2. Many proprietary tools and frameworks, often inferior to what's available on the market and which won't be used outside the company. New developments are made in AWS, which is good!
  3. Large operational load.
  4. Processes can be unnecessarily rigid, for example, home office and working abroad policies.
Advice to Management
  1. Melhorar o processo de onboarding. Mais acompanhamento ativo para quem está começando.
  2. Esclarecer melhor a compensação na hora da oferta (tive algumas surpresas depois de ser contratado, mas nada que seja crítico).
  3. Flexibilizar o local onde as pessoas trabalham (permitir que funcionários trabalhem em outros escritórios que não o seu de origem pontualmente).
