Java Developer • Current Employee
Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico
July 11, 2025
Pros: The work environment is very good. The benefits are normal, considering companies in this sector.
Cons: After 4 years, I can assure you that there are no real growth opportunities. They ask you to complete objectives and courses to be considered for a promotion. However, every year or year and a half they change the requirements, and it's back to square one. Recently, they practically punish you by not considering your promotion if you took vacation and didn't achieve the utilization they ask for. They just put one obstacle after another.
