Ventajas

Used to have a good work environment. Nice facilities.

Desventajas

More and more it seems to be a typical corporate environment. The hierarchy is getting longer and longer and it shows. Bad managers are promoted due to short term good numbers, which is what is wanted more and more. Pay is well known to be below average. It seems more and more it is preferable to have a good image than actually stand for what you say. Good altruistic initiatives seem to be more and more a marketing ploy instead of an actual initiative.

Great environment, projects that make a difference to the world (no call centre crappy software being developed here): trains, planes, aerospace, space, banking, smart meters, etc.. Parts of Exomars SW were made here. Same for Solar Orbiter and 20+ space missions. This is about changing the world, for the better, while staying in Portugal (or UK, or Germany, or anywhere that suits you - remote is the new norm). Human resources are valued. Several process improvement initiatives are NOT related to the core technical standards and/or technologies but to People and sustainability (Investors in People, B-Corps). One of the few CMMI-L5 companies in the world (~1000), which rates the capability maturity level of the organization.

Desventajas

Got to know what is involved in working for safety-critical projects and domains. Not a company developing pretty much simple web software. Coding is only one of the many tasks to be performed before release. If you don't care about quality (doing things right, processes and doing the right thing and your business is the salary at the end of the month), go somewhere else.
