Pros

Compatible salary, meal vouchers (VR), food vouchers (VA), profit sharing (PLR), IBM Foundation, training, free certifications, remote work, overtime pay, flexibility to pick up children from school, etc. Globally famous, so it looks good on a resume.

Cons

You are part of the commerce union, so while IT professionals work 40 hours a week, you will work 44.

The benefits already lag behind the market (no Gympass, no day-off on your birthday, low VR and VA, etc.).

The career plan is good for juniors, and from mid-level onwards, it's very difficult to advance.

You only get a raise when you threaten to leave the company.

Many people use it as a stepping-stone company: they join, learn many things, and then leave to earn more.

If you have personal problems with someone and take them to management, the fault will always be yours. It's always you who lacks stability/resilience/patience, never the aggressor.

Then they send you to do soft skills training and the aggressor continues without any punishment.

Advice to Management

Os líderes de projeto e gerentes deveriam ter um treinamento mais apropriado, pois estão lidando com pessoas. Muitos PMs/líderes desequilibrados cometem assédio moral e faltam com a educação. Tudo é varrido para debaixo do tapete quando chega na gerência; nem chega a ir para o RH.
