Pros

Flat company, no dress code, good benefits like health care and VR. Freedom of choice regarding your future since you can decide what are the goals for the annual review which is something really important in my pont of view and where Avenue Code excels as a company.

Cons

Because of the changes from the last 2 years some information regarding the company directions and goals seems off from what they preach. It is a problem they have been trying to solve and if you seek the info you will get it but it lacks a bit of transparency when you dont talk to your manager very often.

International clients; possibility to travel to the US and work there for some time; possibility to relocate to the US (there are two programs for that); usually interesting projects; trainings (hard and soft skills); benefits; excellent office location;

Cons

Salary is not really competitive (market average); lack of meaningful feedback (even though the company assigns for each employee a manager and a "buddy").

Pros

Friendly environment, good managers and strong clients. Avenue Code is a great place to start your career and being exposed to different clients. The staff is great and you will definitely learn a lot.

Cons

Unclear career path. Its hard to know how to grow and what to expect next. The company is still figuring out how to deal with its own growth and that causes some uncertainty and lack of structure.

Pros

In Brazil salary is compatible with the market, sometimes better. Opportunity to work abroad for some periods depending on the client. Fun environment with games for you to play when you think suitable. Fun and loyal colleagues in general. Made some good friends out of my experience in the company. Opportunity to move to the US on a H-1B if selected (but it also has it's own con, please check). Depending on the client you end-up you will work with top-notch technologies. Working hours somewhat flexible. Once a month happy hours. Good city location.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company had to grow too fast and did not do it properly. People who achieved managerial status did it by being friends with current managers and now collect lots of complaints by managed employees. Even though the company has a big profit in the US mostly due to the use of Brazilian manpower salary, they won't admit profit so they don't need to pay the union mandatory Profit share to employees. Legal? Yes. Moral? Not really. If you get selected on their Olympian program to move to the US, they don't care about your personal life. The salary is default no matter you are junior or senior. They will not support anything for your family to relocate with you. Relocation package lacks some standard benefits other US companies offer. So you got to check if it's good enough, but they will only tell you that once the visa is approved and you are about to mode to the US in the next couple weeks. Noisy environment. Since it's an open minded environment, it has it's price, people can be really noisy, and since you have meetings on the phone all day long, it can be a nightmare sometimes. There's not enough private rooms for meetings. If you don't play on the exact rules the company management outlines (focusing on growing and money instead of people development) you will not *shine* on their horizon and will stay on the same position (or get demoted depending) no matter how good job you do and how good you impact your co-workers life. Once I heard from a manager "We don't need to improve. Let this people leave the company, they will come back crawling in 2 months". Hint: they didn't.

Pros

Good exposition to good brands but Avenue Code does not allow a future direct hire from the company. Great young SW engineers in their staff with an individual bright future.

Cons

Staffing DNA mentality little bit far from consulting which is their wannabe . They need a professional CEO to get clear vision. Money oriented which means a cold employee money driven relation hided behind a Open culture and Business casual environment. They hire senior managers just to get their contacts. No 401K. High Turnover rate

Pros

Timely payments, great experience and relationship with the project client

Cons

Internal AvenueCode team seemed to have constant changes. Confusing points of contact from the beginning. Not a lot of follow up or feedback given as a contractor. Disconnect between client/project and project managers

Avoid it unless you really need a job and there's no other option

Pros

The company still has some good employees (in the development area, all managers and higher-level positions are completely corrupt and will try to sabotage your chances to get some perk from their superiors).

Cons

I don't even know where to begin, but I need to say that you should completely ignore everything you've seen about this company before the past 4 years. All the "Great Place to Work" awards—it's not the same company. You can't grow here. You can't get salary adjustments (not even to keep up with inflation). I just experienced ableism from one of the C-level directors. And I quit; it was the push I needed to leave this toxic place that will destroy you if it means making a few more pennies in profit for the owners.
