Vantaggi
Unfortunately none remain. The Brazilian team had a joyful and collaborative spirit. In the beginning, the workplace felt peaceful and supportive — real friendships were formed, and there was a genuine sense of trust and unity. It was a place where people felt proud to work together.
Svantaggi
➡️Micromanagement – Management exerts excessive control over employees’ tasks, leaving no room for autonomy. Employees are required to log every hour of their workday into a timesheet system, sometimes without even being granted basic 15-minute mental health breaks. The office is also filled with surveillance cameras — including audio recording — under the pretense of security, though the intent is clearly to monitor employees closely. ➡️Lack of transparency – Major decisions are made behind closed doors with minimal to no explanation. Clocking in and out suddenly became mandatory without proper communication. Employees were forced back into in-person work, and Uber rides previously provided as a benefit were cut with no justification. ➡️Ignoring employee feedback – Employee suggestions and concerns are regularly dismissed. Staff are asked to create marketing plans or conduct market research, only to be told the work was “excellent” — and then the results are ignored entirely. Many of these initiatives received widespread negative feedback internally, but headquarters in Canada simply responded: “The decision has already been made.” ➡️Favoritism – Clear preferential treatment is given to developers in Canada, creating a toxic sense of competition between teams. HR advice from the Brazilian office is routinely ignored, and the CEO often proceeds with decisions unilaterally. The Brazilian office is heavily surveilled with numerous cameras, while the Laval office has none monitoring employees. ➡️Lack of recognition – Employee achievements and efforts are often overlooked or dismissed without acknowledgment.
