Pros

- Strong company culture: Overall culture is positive, inclusive, and aligned with the wellness mission. People are generally kind, collaborative, and supportive. - Competitive salary for the Brazilian market: Compensation is above average compared to local tech companies, especially considering remote opportunities. - Exposure to a global company: Working with international teams brings strong learning opportunities and professional growth. - Flexible work model: Remote work and schedule flexibility help maintain a good work-life balance.

Cons

- Weak middle management: Many managers lack people-management skills, strategic clarity, or accountability. Promotions criteria are unclear. - Poor communication and alignment: Information frequently gets lost between leadership and execution layers, causing confusion and rework. - Limited career development structure: Growth paths are unclear, and progression often depends more on self-advocacy than on structured development plans. - Unbalanced teams: Some areas feel understaffed, leading to burnout and reactive work instead of long-term planning. Others are clearly overstaffed.

Pros

Remote work, excellent work-life balance, flexible time off, 20+ company holidays and wellness days, and generous parental leave available from day one are all incredible benefits. What has stood out most to me, though, is the people. The leadership team and managers are some of the most intelligent, strategic, and thoughtful individuals I have had the opportunity to partner with throughout my career. They challenge teams to think bigger, make data-driven decisions, and focus on meaningful outcomes, while remaining approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in their employees' success. Since joining, every person I have worked with has been kind, respectful, collaborative, and willing to help. There is a strong culture of partnership where ideas are welcomed, expertise is valued, and people work together to solve problems rather than operate in silos. The company is navigating an exciting period of growth and transformation, and it's inspiring to work alongside such talented colleagues who are passionate about what they do. I feel fortunate to be surrounded by people who are not only exceptionally smart and strategic, but also genuinely good humans who make coming to work each day enjoyable.

Cons
