Pros

Very imaginative, hard working staff. Occasionally a brilliant mind or two within the product development teams. Very good facilities in Lisbon.

Cons

Awful facilities at the headquarters. No sense of professional management whatsoever. Completely egocentric management to cover own flaws and overall inferiority complex. Total lack of respect for the Human Resources.

Pros

hummm... Nothing!! Everything is fake. Complete waste of my time

Cons

If you´re a clever person, ambitious and want to grow up in a healthy environment don´t apply to any kind of job to this fake company. I´ve worked for 6 months close to the CEO and other team managers at wit and during the first 3 everything looked like a dream, but quickly changed because of the terrible management of the CEO. Apart from that, he is the most disgusting person that i´ve met so far. They took rights of my contract taking me money at the end of the month, they changed my time shift to fix with 2 hours lunch just to punish me for something that i didn´t do… imagine what?! - someone in the same situation as mine, create a post on this website reporting the abuse. They also tried to scared me with a lawyer. Luis Silva abused, threatened me saying he would destroy my career, and tried to tarnish my image in front of everyone. The wit problems start at the top and will remain. How do they work? Read the other reviews, its clear as water.

Pros

- Coimbra office is good even though it's location is bad : around 10KM away from Coimbra city with poor public transportation. - Projects include both WIT's own products and also services for major TELCO companies with worldwide deployments. - Met some technically great people here.. Even though most of them went away after a while. - One specific Project Manager is really good. If you are lucky to have the chance to work with him. - Good to start and get a grip on software development. But be ready to stall after a year or so. - Free fruit and coffee - Yearly snow trip

Cons

- No career progression. - Quality is a motto but, in practice, this company is miles away from today's practices. - Unfair and non homogeneous salaries which are decided through some black magical criteria that will never be clear for the employee. Most of the time, people who review salaries aren't the right people to review the employee's performance. - Too much BS being said by the upper management. - Transparency is non existent. You'll know nothing about anything. - When trying to improve something, you'll be under passive-aggressive arguments such as : the current process doesn't let us do that, the CTO disapproves that, yada yada yada. - It's preferred to swap an unmotivated but good senior engineer for two juniors straight out of college . That reflects in the internal software quality (I've seen some really scary code and architecture [ or lack of it ? ]) - Hardware is limited, it's common to see employee's using their own personal devices and sharing them because the company's devices pool is lacking. - Most of the upper management people aren't skilled enough. Both on the technical side and human side. - Clients are handled too passively by the managers. The client wants, the client gets. Even if we have to burn a whole team of devs on the WIT side. - Bonuses are only awarded to developers who work 10h+ hours per day and commit code after 2am . Other than that, it's not really known how bonuses are awarded. - People go from being considered the BEST to the very WORST in a matter of days. And back again. And to the worst again. Lather ,rinse, repeat until the employee is all sucked out. - Training is non-existent for anyone above a Junior position.
