Pros
  • Numerous knowledge repositories (Udemy, O'Reilly, etc.) free for all employees.
  • Experience working with teams distributed worldwide.
  • Great benefits (Bradesco Individual Health Plan, Dental, Vidalink pharmacy, VR, VA).
Cons

Weekly workload of 44 hours, unlike other tech companies.

Employees sent to work from home do not receive any type of expense reimbursement.

Meal Vouchers and Food Vouchers with values much lower than other companies.

Almost impossible to persevere in the career plan. It gives the impression that it was designed to keep employees where they are for as long and for as much value as possible.

Despite the success of the home office system, the company had been calling employees back to the office, even those who were physically distant from their teams. Employees were already so accustomed to remote work that they didn't even feel the impact of the pandemic, maintaining productivity and even increasing it.

The offered PLR (Profit Sharing) is an offense.

Advice to Management

Que tal apostar na qualidade de vida, oferecendo jornadas de 40h a todos, em vez de se declarar uma empresa do comércio e não de TI?

Alguém, por favor, coloque na cabeça do CEO que home office é um caminho sem volta. A IBM foi pioneira nesse sentido e, de uns 5 anos para cá, vem regredindo a níveis vergonhosos no quesito flexibilidade e qualidade de vida.

Voltem a ser a empresa pioneira que já foram um dia.
