Pros

Plenty of talented people, great attitude and generally you develop great friendship with your peers. Work life balance is also pretty good. Offices are nice, perks are good.

Cons

Where do I even start? After being bought by the Japanese Lifull group, Mauricio was appointed as CEO. He has managed to take a thriving culture where people were excited to come to work every day and turn it to the biggest cultural disaster I've ever seen. He only holds his position because he's set up a team of puppets on the top management level to whom he pays a huge salary and they move his lousy company vision which is basically to do nothing at all and just maintain the business at a constant level with no innovation and progression at all. So many opportunities have gone by for Trovit but the lack of drive and the CEOs ambition to just earn an astronomical salary while not doing anything at all to drive the business forward has set the company up for failure and disappearing within the next couple of years. Mark my words. Seeing a once thriving company get so sidetracked is a tragedy.

Pros

The only highlight is the remote work policy.

Cons

A major disadvantage is the lack of clear leadership and direction from the leadership board, resulting in little to no guidance on how to execute your role effectively. If you are senior in the position, there is minimal support for learning their reporting processes and the hands-on aspects of the job. Additionally, there is limited autonomy in managing your clients, and the absence of a strong support system from leadership negatively impacts career growth and development. The management style is toxic, creating a difficult work environment, and the product is clearly decadent and not evolving, making it challenging to drive meaningful results.
