Pros: Interesting tech/architecture. Focus on code simplicity and clarity. Focus on quality and testing.

Cons: Unreasonable expectations. No work-life balance. Bullying among coworkers and bosses.

Pros: Cool office space. Many people I've met were very nice, knowledgeable, and humble. No one tells you how to do things, as long as you get things done (this also proved to be one of their issues).

Cons: - Arrogant management. - Probation period goals are poorly defined and most of the times not measurable. - Lack of support or direction during your probation period. You'll have to constantly chase your line manager to give you feedback, and luckily they won't be too busy. - No one will tell you whether you passed the probation period or not, even though they are supposed to give you written confirmation. - Blame culture. Instead of focusing on solutions, fixing problems, or educating people, some senior engineers/managers prefer to just make fun of other people's lack of skills or point fingers. - People are treated as disposable and will be let go during their probation period for no reason. With luck, they will tell you, "You're not a good fit for the company." - They tell you that no one forces you to work long hours, but the tasks they give you during your probation force you to work many extra hours and during the weekend. - Job specs advertised are completely different from the actual work you'll do (given the speed at which the company is growing, you'll end up doing really crappy work that other people who've been longer in the company don't want to do).

Pros: Pay is good for a company in Portugal. The tech stack works well, and there is good homogeneity across all services, which makes it a nice place to work engineering-wise.

Cons: Fast-paced/short-sighted: The quarterly KPIs discourage teams from collaboration and allow technical debt (technical and product) to accumulate. Suboptimal solutions are rolled out to achieve KPIs first and foremost.
