Pros
The SAMS health insurance is the biggest advantage and having BNPP on your CV looks good. However, it is not worth it.
Cons
1 - Salary: The salaries are terrible and the "raises" are a joke. You get the same raise as everyone else (as well as bonus), even though your evaluation of the year was better. 2 - Management: Your line manager does not care about you and your Team Leader just replies to e-mails all day and barely knows what you are actually doing. Furthermore, you only get promotions if you butter you TL up (e.g. people can ask for mobility after 2 years; however some friends of the TL get it without even a year...). 3 - Transparency: It does not matter what position you would like to work in the future, you will not get it unless you are friends with the TL. Positions are filled internally, without even being officially open. People whose quality of work is debatable get ahead at all times. 4 - HR department: Unfortunate cases like an employee having to take tranquilizers just to go to work, due to the pressure and aggressiveness of the TL, do not matter to the HR department. They barely reply to your e-mails and are heavily biased towards the management. 5 - Illegal practices: Some employees have been asked to shorten their lunch break to 3omin. That's illegal and goes against the Portuguese Labour Law. 6 - IT systems: Computers are from the early 2000s and the systems are from the 90s. 7 - Career Development: Non-existant. You will not grow here.
