Pros

Remote work, and a VISA. The culture amongst employees can be a plus, but is declining sharply. Lots of opportunity for a promotion, as the staff turnover rate is shocking and you'll have your bosses position in a couple short months.

Cons

Not sure where to start honestly. Abysmal pay, unrealistic expectations, very few benefits, bullying and harassment... As a "US and Colombian based company" they pick and chose the worst of the 2 country's benefits, such as US holidays (significantly less days than Colombian) but pay in Colombian Pesos (has declined ~25% against the US dollar in the last year and has continued to fall since 2018) as one example. If you truly work hard you could expect to have an at maximum 25% pay rise after a year, very generously given, as you're now being paid the exact same as you were when you begun. While they happily pocket and profit from that difference as all of their clients are US and EU based, and pay the company in US dollars. They however are truly not in any way actually a US based company. No employees or owners actually live in the US, and they don't have an office there either. The culture amongst employees can be great at times, but workplace culture amongst those in senior positions is toxic and can be nothing short of bullying. Long hours, unrealistic expectations for growth, and expect to be yelled at and put down unnecessarily. On top of what comes at you verbally, it's also commonplace for the companywide "memes" created and circulated by Senior Management on the public Slack channels are utilized as a weapon for bullying under the guise of poor humor. The subject of the jokes will most often be on race and ethnicity, an employee's workplace performance, comments on sensitive elements of employee's appearance, and downright insulting previous employees or employees that have given in their notice. They're never received well by anybody, often met with complete silence rather than even a small handful of polite hahas to dispel the awkwardness. The jokes are always in poor taste, at the expense of employees, and with no exception ever mention the most senior members of staff who create them. Further evidence of their existence as a tool of bullying. They've slowly drained the joy from the once-thriving workplace culture, one of the few benefits to working with Publicize.

Pros

- Remote Working. - Learning Environment.

Cons

- Salaries are trash. They take advantage of Colombian labor force and pay too low. - They aren't fully oriented by results. They are driven by your feelings, on how you get along with the management, your peers, and so. - Management gaslights people. They tell you something and then deny it. - I had the constant feeling of getting laid off. But, then I was giving more work. But the constant fear was always on the air. - The CEO of the company is exactly as Michael Scott. He does REALLY uncomfortable jokes, has an awful sense of humor, and it's almost harassment.
