Pros

* Great work environment * Managers are open to talk, although they usually don't show this "openness" very well * Good overtime compensations (taxis, dinner, etc) * If you are lucky this can be an excellent company to work for.

Cons

* Too much overtime. Forget about planning your holidays and Sundays. Saturdays are even counted as regular work days in some projects. * Depending on the project and/or manager, you will have absolutely no work/life balance at all. I have experienced that in more than one project, and under more than one manager. * Salaries below average * Too much focus on GPTW yearly evaluation, they don't pay attention to what their employees really think. * They talk too much about taking care of the employees, but these principles will be totally forgotten in seconds if a lot of money shows up for the higher managers. * They are very late to recognize and promote the talents. Usually people from outside the company are more valued than those from the inside. * Usually, you won't get promoted unless you ask. Worse than that, you won't get promoted unless you work many, many extra hours per day/week/month.

Your review is very appreciated! Responding to all of the comments would take up a lot of space, however, management culture and respect for people are central themes to your review. How the company treats and respects people is a core part of CI&T's management culture. Clearly, we have not provided a good example to you. But, we are sure that we can improve through feedback like yours. As for overtime, we know this is not what all of us expected and we are working on some adjustments.

Pros

- Worked with some capable individual contributors - Exposure to client-facing consulting work - Opportunity to work on a variety of projects

Cons

- Communication from management was consistently poor; it was often unclear where I stood or what to expect next - Project management was weak, resulting in a poorly run engagement that ultimately failed - Very little notice was given when I was removed from a project - Bench period was extremely short (approximately two weeks), creating constant job insecurity - Entire US-based team on the project was eventually let go, indicating limited long-term commitment to US employees
