Good and not so good aspects

Pros

Great company for individuals looking to learn a little of everything. The company is not afraid to take you out of your comfort zone - means exposure to new and challenging projects. Excellent benefits and encourages community engagement.

Cons

Morale extremely low, too slow to modernize, lack of diversity. Those part of the good old boys club get promoted, otherwise, upward mobility is only achieved for those who leave or find a new opportunity.

Pros

Good pay & benefits. 401k company match is very good. Opportunities to advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Expected to work A LOT of hours - no work / life balance. If you're not Brazilian or speak Portuguese, you can only go so far up the chain. Be ready to do everything "the Brazilian way", because apparently they do everything right. Dirty, hot, dangerous environment. Company is constantly changing things, make sure you're drinking the Koolaid or you'll be looked at as a "sour apple".

Pros

Pay and benefits were fair.

Cons

No Loyalty, Treat you like a number instead of a person. Never had appropriate resources to do the job. HR ran the company not the customer !!
