      If you are not looking for just a good salary, think twice.

      Pros

      1) Pays in Dollar, which is very interesting for brazilians right now. 2) Good code review culture. 3) Devs are technically good, but some are bad team players and unsupportive. 4) Work from home.

      Cons

      1) The whole selection process is a mess and unclear. I applied as a back-end engineer, but after selection I had to work on front-end tasks repeatedly. 2) Product decisions are always top-down. Daily meetings are more like a status report to the boss. 3) As an engineer, you will not be able to access staging/dev database if you're not a devops guy. Same for any tool in the cloud. 4) The apps you'll be working on are small, with little traffic and low number of users. 5) Screenshots, micromanagement, microestimatives... You don't feel like they trust you too much.

      This dev worked on a client project for two months and was rejected because of performance issues we noticed but took a while to confirm. We gave him an extra month to find another job. I know he is a good person and I think he's unhappy about the result as he was being paid well and this is likely a difficult time for him. About the cons: 1) We hire devs capable of full-stack, and the job will involve more front-end than back-end at times. 2) Product owners ultimately drive those decisions, discussing with the team leads. Stand-up meetings are a group report to the team. This dev wasn't involved. 3) Our DevOps team provides all the access needed, but not direct administrative access. 4) This dev's projects only have a few thousand visitors per month but a high-cost per acquisition. 5) When performance is a problem, there is plenty of science to show that guardrails are key. Again, please consider that your experience comes from a situation that didn't work out because of performance. Thanks for the comments.

      Good place to work

      Full stack developer

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - flexibility, the only pro of hubstaff, you work when you want (but you have to work all day in the months with less working days) - meritoxratic, they will value you if you do well - modern technologies, a great place to learn - few meetings, in general it seems that nobody likes to have meetings in this place and I really love it

      Cons

      - low salary, still a good salary in the country I live in, but I'm sure the compensation is way below the average in the company's country - screenshots from the hubstaff, I think the experience as an employee would be incredibly better if the hubstaff had the screenshots option disabled, especially considering that we act as contractors on our personal computer and honestly this only makes my productivity drop, but rules are rules and despite that you can still take it

      Great opportunities for you carreer

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Great leaders, who give to you detailed (and some times guided) information about the tasks; - Frequent salary raise; - We just work with good and new technologies; - Flexible hours; - Paid time-off; - Freedom to suggest, and implement new stuff.

      Cons

      Almost none, the only thing that is bad is the time-auto stop from hubstaff while you're doing a meeting.
