Pros

You'll get the chance to own some products and lead changes on them. As it's a relatively small start-up you can push changes with little to none supervision which means you can do meaningful contributions or take a service down. You can double your salary during the annual salary revision if you shown strengths during the previous year. If you perform well you'll be monetary compensated.

Cons

You need to hate yourself as you'll lose your dignity. Prepare to be yelled and humilliated and watch the USA office do nothing about it because the Mexico's managment is too busy kissing CTO and CEO's glutes. The USA is great, they respect their workers but the Mexico office will treat you as trash for a couple or reasons: 1. They have no compentence in the software industry market for Software Engineers. Justia Mexico can double the salary of other companies in the area (Saltillo and Monterrey, probably all the mexican northeastern). 2. Senior employees are untouchables. Your opinions are worthless unless you have 8 years or more in the company. That's why you'll see low rotation because other places offer poor benefits. This very few employeer will have a very good reputation with CTO and CEO and the Mexico's office management is not capable of doing nothing without their permission. Things that will make you think twice if the salary is worth it: - Your boss is probably going to harrass you in Social Media. It's a small office so your boss is probably going to add you to FB and criticise you if you enjoyed a party last night during stand-up in front of your collagues (true story). - Yelling is more important than providing arguments. Your >7 years senior boss will raise their voice in front of everybody at will as nobody is capable of stop her. - You boss is going to look over your shoulder 9 hours a day (not kidding). - You can do little about the previous points as Mexico's office manager is useless and the USA office can't really notice the most deep issues in their employees as they only have the story of the senior people which is "The Mexico's office is great".

Pros

Nice office and good work equipment. That's It.

Cons

TLDR: they want people who only say yes to everything they want, specially in the scolds where basically they spit in your face in front of everyone They don't want people who actually think and have a personal life expectation. Expect an absolute out-of-minded amount of time off wasted, where of course the math won't go on your side when you put in the weigh scale the time and the obtained income, just as if they instead pay for all the overtime they demand mandatorily (real thing). Be aware of the craziest and most out of mind due dates. They ABSOLUTELY WON'T CARE if you barely sleep 2-4 hours per day trying to get things done just to fulfill their whims, and of COURSE! they will yell at you for doubling your work shift (for free), and don't being a robot to think and solve at the same time all the tasks that they constantly and almost everyday override. Basically be a cyborg with an Octa-Core and multi-thread brain to work here! Absolutely no respect or care for your personal time and mental health. You can't take long PTO without overworking and "complete all your tasks". PTO is for resting, and taking all the time you need and have. It should not be a problem. Instead you have to triple working before and after the PTO. This is a big concern since there are people with months of PTO accumulated. Good company just to new people, or to use as a ladder to climb into a better place. You will have good/decent annual pay rises, but it's never going to worth all the time-off on weekends/holidays you have to invest. They don't pay overtime, but they request it every day. Your actitude will be negative if you respect your work shift and leave exactly when it ends, even if you arrive at time. You will have to overwork to achieve their out-of-mind due-dates. A plus is that even if you have a high-priority task, they will demand you to attend to other stuff. (Yeah, this makes NO sense at all) And this is why you will have to invest your spare time if you don't want to be scolded, yelled and maybe indirectly insulted in front of everyone, but this is the routine here. This is a maked-up "modern" startup, with radical working environment, management and ideas. People have to "compensate" the time even for medical appointments. They watch all the time over your shoulder and mark you even for looking at your phone 5 minutes. They encourage you everyday and every meeting to "stay focus" and -make it happen- but there's absolutely no congruence on mandatory demand you to complete hard dues without at least time compensation for you. Working here simplified in 3 facts: 1- You will have to hate yourself for holding their rage even if it's not your mistake when they want to trash-talk people in front of everyone, so they are NOT the nice people they say during the interviews at all. 2- There is no work shift here. Your time won't be yours anymore. No matter if you work 14 hours/day, they will trash-talk to you at some point and pretend demency about you working overtime. 3- This is a vicious square. When someone quits and leave to other place they calm down for a couple of weeks/months, then they do it again.

Pros

It's a great place to work if you live in the U.S. You can get away with almost anything. Also, if you're inexperienced, they're willing to give you a chance and you can learn a lot if you are willing to put in the extra effort.

Cons

If you live in Mexico, explore other options. All of the below is true in the U.S. and Mexico, but it's always much worse in Mexico. There's a culture of proving your value through devoting your life to the company. If you're always available then you can get promoted and you're a good example to them. If you're not, you're seen as lazy even if you are a good worker and contribute to the company's success. Treating others without respect is not only tolerated but also somehow encouraged. If you're nice you don't get ahead and your superiors will not be nice to you. Basically, if you let them they will overwork you and then act like you're not doing enough anyway. The workload for some is completely unbearable, "unreasonable" doesn't begin to cover it. On the other hand, the "favorite ones" get a much more acceptable load. And then there are several people that seem to do everything wrong on purpose and nothing is done to correct this. They're cheap (especially when you leave or they want to get rid of you) and if you get any perks they constantly remind you of them, sometimes while you're actually enjoying it (incredibly rude). In some meetings, they basically say you should be thankful for the undeserved favor they make you by giving you a job. People of a certain community are treated like gods and everything they do must be celebrated and applauded (this is true in many places, but it's completely over the top here).
