Pros

- If you´re coming from abroad, they help you a lot with immigration - A lot of nice people around who are willing to help you - Some of the projects are fun/nice

Cons

- As with any consultancy, your job is gonna depend on the client you are working with - Lack of transparency regarding salaries and payment - For me, because of the lack of transparency, when I´m negotiating anything with Aubay directly it feels always a bit like they´re using something I don´t know about to profit on me a bit more - It seems to me that the business is to bring people from other countries and have them for 1-2 years max and profit heavily on them until they learn more about how things work and leave the company to go work for a client directly or another company with better pay/benefits(easy to find once you´re here).

Pros

Give language lessons for free / Portuguese / English / French / German No micromanagement You can talk with your manager any time you need , they are very friendly They make activities to meet other employees They give 50 euros on your birthday If you ask they provide with an extra monitor or other accessory you need.

Cons

An average low salary around 1500 / 1900 euros per month. / an apartment rent in Lisbon is about 1300 euros. The computer is very bad, heavy, big and at least mine was from time to time failing the camera or microphone. They say they help with the legal process, they do the minimum, you will need to learn to pay your own taxes on the correct deadlines and introduce your tax declaration, and don´t forget about the NHR and the official address to change it to Portugal, it will say the country to came from an Aubay does not change it.

Bad Management

Pros

Help with visa process through an agency The person who took care of me while I was in the process of finding a client was a really good person. Attentive, concerned about my issues and my fear of not getting any contact from their clients managers.

Cons

Bad management. They overestimated the amount of devs needed for the first semester of 2023 and brought a lot of developers from other countries, me included. Some of them didn't even made the country, they were laid off in Brazil still. Their clients don't need as much developers as they first accounted for and now they're unable to find a job for everyone. That being said: me and a few collegues that came from Brazil we're laid off because of this. And, of course, the saddest part is: being a junior consultant and being sold as a senior. Of course devs find it hard to fit their client's expectations. My latest "interview" was with the HR department of a client and the feedback was: "you don't have the experience needed for this project". Mind you, I didn't even got to the part of being tested. Of course, they must have seen that through my CV. So, yeah.... I'm glad that I have a back up plan regarding citizenship. But people who don't have it will find it hard in the near future. One last thing: terrible feedback culture. Their managers simply don't give you enough attention for a feedback on your interview process. Of all 5 that I had been in contact with, just one (listed above) sent me a feedback. The others I either had to look for the feedback, or figure it out by myself that if I hadn't heard of them it meant that I was disqualified of the process.
