I hope that somebody will read this, before considering a signed contract with them.
Pros
- Office is very well located for Lisbon area. - Free water and some fruits. - Nice PC. - It’s a good opportunity for junior developers for a maximum of 6 months - after this period, it’s better to find something else. - If you are very very lucky, you can get some project on Symfony 2 for some months, but it's very rare.
Cons
- Overtimes will never count, and this is considered as a standard practice. - You’ll be working with «very» recent and an updated stack of software with PHP 5.1 and Symfony 1.4 - Back to the Future. - You’ll have lots of security and architect issues that you will need fix, or maybe add some more, because they don't care about it. - Nice project management where most of things should be done for yesterday and normally without well structured requirements specification. - Best HR department I’ve ever seen; they do nothing for employees’ needs. - The company’s schedule is flexible, but only if you stay after schedule to do more overtimes, if you need time for personal issues or if you arrive late because of traffic problems or such, be advised that you’ll be facing problems. - There’s no access to Wi-Fi, because it’s believed that is a security liability. - Forget about your career here, even on contract renewal negotiation; they only raise you if you found another company paying more I hope this is enough to provide an understanding of what this company looks like inside, with their lies and wonderful marketing, such as: "We are best place to work".
