Pros

There is no pros at all.

Cons

First of all I don't even understand how this company has such a good rates in this platform. Please run away, unless you have no other better opportunities to grab. Seriously. This company's management system is completely trash. I've had the chance to work for huge and quite successful companies out there and none of them has this bad system to manage its employees. It looks like the slavery age hasn't finished for them. - Due to all of the tickets are under estimated, tickets are estimated in hours and most of them are 4 hours task (including development, research, QA and bug fixing), so general speaking you have to close 2 tickets per day no matter its complexity or what it's involved (not realistic at all in my experience). - You are being monitored all the time, you have to report every single minute of the time spent on each task, you have to split each report by maximum 2 hours if one of those reports exceed 2 hours the CTO and PM will DM you requesting explanations (that sucks in my opinion) - If by any chance you don't meet a ticket, you are mark with a big red flag and CTO and PM will DM requesting explanations about why that task took 40 mins or 1 hour more than expected. Having the CTO watching your movements is the most common thing that can happen to you in that company (it sucks). - You cannot be stuck or blocked on any ticket, you are not allowed to take your time to research. You are not an independent professional in that company (independency as professional is very important in my opinion). - This company wont hesitate to fired you instead of giving you the tools to improve whether is the case. - These people does not have soft skills to manage its employees. - There is not flexibility at all. One example is that if you have a doctors appointment you have to replace the time you "lost" by assisting to your appointment (I never saw this before). - This company is just about money you can make for them (I know that's the companies nature). At least in some other companies they give you kind of flexibility, make you feel countable and valuable, also you get perks like health insurance among others, but here in Fullstack Labs you don't have any kind of perks NO health insurance, NO flexibility, NOTHING. - They say working remotely (Work from home) is such a perk the company gives you (well..., I don't consider that as a perk).

Pros

Daily life at Fullstack will be unlike anywhere else you've worked. As someone who managed several teams of developers, you will find that each day will challenge what you know and how you do it, in order to meet the needs of the clients. Your co-workers are highly skilled at what they do and there's a very collaborative Slack environment. The designers and creative folks are some of the best you will work with (they're really good)! The executives have a deep interest in being sure you have the best tools, clearest guidance, and a rock-solid process to be sure you can approach each day with the confidence you need to be productive. The folks that would fit best here understand how to mix solid development practices with pragmatic decisions in order to keep the project on schedule and on-budget. The company has flexible policies around when you work, and is generous with compensation and benefits. No matter where you are in your career, working at Fullstack will push you to be at your best, each day.

Cons

Consultancy life isn't for the faint of heart. Work needs to be accurately estimated. Each project has a fairly solid schedule. The expectation is that you will consistently put out work that meets a standard of quality that represents the company. While that's not a "con" for most people, this isn't the place for people that just want to fiddle around with Jira tickets. If you work here, you need to go "all in", but doing so will reap lots of rewards.
