It is worth noting that a lot of people feel that you hire people very cheap and work them to their bones with a promise of a high salary. Working on weekends and 12h a day seem to be incentivized.

Some discussion here: https://github.com/frontendbr/vagas/issues/3084 and if you google for the python Brasil google groups there's a lot of bad reputation around the company.

Yes. This is true. There are some people with strong opinions about what we do, but the interesting part is that none of these people were part of our group before, they just criticize what they think we do, as they cannot criticize what we really do.

Anyway, we respect different opinions, but we are really focused on hearing the opinions of the people we already have inside our group, because they are the ones that truly understand what’s going on.

The github issue I posted has comments from employee reviews on glassdoor.

That said I wish you the best! It is really cool that you think of your business the way you do. I just find it very important to show to the HN community how other people feel about your business as well.

Unfortunately Glassdoor is a place where any random person can comment things, not necessarily real ex-members.

Only a few of the reviews we have at Glassdoor are real, the rest comes from internet haters. Even so, if you look a the numbers, you will see that even people that criticize us, 74% recommend the company to a friend.

It’s obvious that we have challenges, as any company, but apparently the benefits are higher than them.
