Good if you need experience, but pretty terrible in every other way
Pros
This is the deal: are you desperate for an online job and you have little to no experience? Great. Go to BairesDev and try to stay there for a year. Then run, my friend. Run like hell. Pros: - They will hire people with little or no experience in talent acquisition - Good way to get your foot in the door - You will learn the basics quickly - Some of the people who work there are absolutely amazing - Fully remote job - If you're lucky and get a decent boss, it can have flexible hours and you will be able to travel while working (if that's something you're into)
Cons
- They have no career path, no desire to retain talent. At BairesDev, you are nothing but disposable, cheap labor. They have zero respect for you. I don't expect companies to actually care about me but I think a minimum amount of respect is necessary. - They will work you to the bone. I'm not kidding. BairesDev is a company where you will constantly feel like you are behind, like you have no idea what you're doing, like you're doing everything wrong. They give you impossible tasks and they don't give you enough time to do them. It's basically built to make you feel like crap while sucking the life out of you. If you're lucky, your manager will help you. If you're not, he/she will tell you to find the answers to your questions on Confluence. - They will change your metrics and KPIs ** retroactively** Yes, this means that two days before payday your lead will tell you that you're not getting your bonus bc they changed the goals FOR TWO MONTHS AGO to whatever. - They hide behind the "dynamic, constantly changing environment" thing, which actually means "we have no idea what we are doing" and "we will change EVERYTHING all the TIME and every time we do, it will mean more work for you." - They have a desktop app that will track your activity. If you're engrossed in a video meeting and forget to move your mouse, you WILL have to work overtime to make up for that. You will be constantly worried about that damn mouse. While you're drinking water. While you're in the bathroom. - You won't really have time to go to bathroom or drink water - They don't care about results. They care about numbers. If you interview 1000 people, it makes them look good. They don't care if those people are a fit or not. You will constantly feel like you are wasting your time. ... and much, much more.
