Pros

Clients are mostly nice people, they provide health and life insurance plus a health and wellness budget up to $65 monthly, you can work from anywhere and the schedules are usually flexible, they have an office in Managua where you can go working some times but not always, because there is no room for everyone, they also offer lunch either at the office or you can pick it up.

Cons

- There is not transparency regarding salaries, you have to be a good negotiator from the beginning, if not, you will find out others make more money than you, by doing probably the same you do. - You are obligated to complete some yearly goals they will sell as something for your growth but seems more of a benefit for the company. They will use those goals to evaluate you. - There seems to be some preferences for people who always work from the office. - PTO not flexible, they have a policy of take them or loose them every year.

Pros

My technical lead was amazing—a true leader with incredible technical skills. There were constant training opportunities, health insurance, and well-being bonuses. Number of PTO days and the country's holidays.

Cons

For internal projects, there’s too much micromanagement. They also ask developers to participate in challenges that take up too much time or to create media content—not everyone is into that. There was favoritism toward some team members. On birthdays or anniversaries, you could see the difference in the amount of money spent on some compared to others. The partners make developers participate in activities that don’t seem very respectful to win prizes: jumping into a pool, running even though not everyone is in the same physical condition, or even dancing like certain animals.
