Pros

Competitive Salarries, chance to evolve your skills and get experience, flexible hours. It has a good projection for the next years of operation.

Cons

Not very organized, still a very "family business" in Brazil. It should mirror the organization of Elsevier Amsterdam, for instance, which is much mora organized.

Pros

Plenty of training, lots of emphasis on "extra curricular" activities such as charity work or external courses.

Cons

It's such a vast company that everyone works in a silo & much work is duplicated.

Pros

Medical benefits, profit sharing match, company car, work remotely from home. Clients are intelligent, and critical thinkers (not all but some) Learn to work through complex problems to create solution. Sharpen presentation skills, and consultative approach.

Cons

Zero vertical, or financial mobility, leadership is mediocre at best, switching gears every year for a hopeful direction, fighting the never ending print battle due to lack of foresight and a cohesive initiative plan, extremely archaic management and business model. Lacking employee moral, and lacking diversity across the board. Sadly if this company doesn't change leadership or direction it's a sinking ship.
