BairesDev

TLDR: Don't leave your stable job to join with BairesDev, or if you look for a solid company, that's not them. They will get rid of you as soon as you became a burden for them.

The client I was working for, decided to cancel the contract with Bairesdev for my services, due to being impacted by COVID-19. Bairesdev then promised me that I will go to bench while they had to search proactively for a new client to relocate me. They always told me I would go to bench and I will be paid while being there, waiting for another client, and not to worry about it.

That never happened. On my last day with the client, they let me know that it was my last day with the client AND WITH THE COMPANY. They just thanked me for my services, and then asked me to return the equipment (laptop, monitor).

I understand that the situation is difficult due to the pandemic, so, why didn't they warned me about it in advance? Why didn't they look proactively for potential clients interested in my profile? Why didn't they try to negotiate with me a salary reduction while they look for a client for me? They struggle trying to find top level candidates (top 1% as they say), yet they do nothing to keep the employees they already have.

Instead, they just considered me as disposable, regardless the fact that these days is hard to find a job, even in the IT industry. So be careful, this is not a solid company, and certainly they lie about some things (like the "bench" thing, where they should keep your paycheck while they proactively look for another client).

If you represent a burden for them, they will get rid of you without thinking twice. I left my job of 5 years to move with them, hoping I would be with Bairesdev for a long time, and they just got rid of me.

BairesDev is a good company to work for. The remote work setting and flexibility are BIG pros. Moreover I really like the culture of excellence and the fact that we work with other very talented and capable individuals. There are some issues, as no place is perfect. The areas don't collaborate enough and there are some silos of information, which is unfortunate. I think the biggest pain point is the fact that we don't have a clearly communicated strategy. A lot of important business decisions are made at the top and they don't necessarily get cascaded down to all employees and teams. If we had a more clear view of our business strategy and direction it would be easier for teams to work together and band behind a common purpose. Overall, I think it's a pleasant environment and you have lots of freedom to make it what you want. If you want to push for innovation and change, there's space and great people that will help you accomplish a lot of impact and deliver value. But you have to be proactive about it. 

Working at Baires has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. One of the things I value most is the quality of leadership, as my managers are not only supportive and approachable, but they’re also truly invested in my growth and success. The company offers internal movement opportunities, which means you’re constantly encouraged to explore, grow, and evolve within the organization. 

Being a remote-first company, flexibility is a huge plus. I have the freedom to work in a way that fits my life, while still feeling deeply connected. There are thoughtful strategies in place to maintain meaningful human connections, whether through online bonding experiences or in-person moments that help strengthen our sense of team.

As a tech company, the environment is naturally fast-paced, dynamic, and exciting. Things move quickly, but that’s part of what makes it such a rich learning ground. There’s never a dull moment and I love being in a place where innovation and impact are part of the everyday.

I'm genuinely proud to be part of this organization and grateful for the culture it fosters.

I felt supported by my manager and the marketing team, which made a huge difference in my professional growth. The global marketing team leader was an excellent leader, providing clear direction and inspiration. Flexible work hours were a great perk, allowing for a better work-life balance. They recognized my hard work and even gave me a salary raise, which was very motivating. 
One downside, however, is that even though BairesDev is a US-based company, they do not offer US dollar salaries to employees in Latin America. Instead, they pay based on the local salary ranges, which are significantly lower than US standards. This practice means the company benefits from US earnings while compensating Latin American employees at lower rates.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They are very nice with workers, very steady projects for long term, and great ways to make the employees feel they count. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
So far there is no stressful parts created by BairesDev itself but by the projects at certain points, deadlines are a natural challenge in this business

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Although it is full remote, I found a very collaborative environment, full supportive staff with any request and also very responsive in time record.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
daily meeting, pull requests reviewing, huddle up with members involved, work individually, sync up in the afternoon, wrap up pull requests and/or unit testing coverage check, update timesheets

Not a recent position, so things may have changed now.

It was my first experience and they didn't have many requirements at the time, so I was very grateful to be granted the opportunity for my first position to be remote. Everyone was nice and all, but as time went on they kept being more and more "over your shoulder" in how you worked; they had an app to track how much you worked via taking screenshots of your desktop every few minutes and we couldn't even ask many questions because using the communications app/page would count as non-productive; plus a survey at some point asking you "why" weren't you working all at once instead of taking breaks and stuff like that. Maybe things have changed since then, but at the time, it felt rather oppressive; but I didn't know better and was grateful for the opportunity so I couldn't say much.

My position, like most here, is fully remote. That gives me a lot of control over my time, which is great.  They also offer me the option to go into the office if I prefer.  Like any hyper-growth company, there's often more work than there are people, so we stay busy!

The hardest part of the job is working remote - there's a lot of collaboration, but it's hard to feel like anyone really knows you, and it's difficult to navigate company politics and things like that when you've never met anyone face to face. 

The best part is that there is a lot to be done!  I'm always busy, but also making proposals about things that could be improved.  I feel like you have a lot of input as an employee, and there's a continuous improvement mindset. 

We have growing pains, like any company growing rapidly does. But we use them to learn and propel the company forward for the future.
