Pros

People are nice, lot's of company events

Cons

A lot of in house marketing designed to make you feel that it's not an outsource though it is. Remember, to Tikal you are a resource, and you will be treated as such. When your interests will clash with the client's they will pick a side and it won't be yours. No interest in your personal well being. The client always comes first. Most of the clients will treat you as a second class citizen since you are an outsource worker and you'll receive the kind of work that no one of the client's employees wants to do . Working in this model made me appreciate the places I've worked in the past and my current place where I'm seen as a human being and I feel like I matter During the recruitment I was promised lots of things that turned out to be far from the truth... I wouldn't recommend.

Pros

Personal roadmap oriented company. You'll always get missions according to your next professional level and personal preferences. Flat organization - no hierarchy which translates to family atmosphere, eye-level with everyone, always. Knowledge transfer is being promoted. You're encouraged and given the time and resources to learn from others and teach them. You're never alone. Every domain has their constant communication levels for professional support and collaboration, plus social integrations. High quality administration department who's always happy to provide support and services of all kinds.

Cons

The company believes in open-source-software first and wherever it's available. This is not only the approach towards software but a life-ideology, and sometime it means opting out of the straight forward or convenient option. After a while of getting used to this, I got to realize this isn't a con but another opportunity to personally develop and break the comfort zone.
