Pluspunten

Work from home. Company pays most of your health care and dental plan costs. Paid overtime (at least at the time I worked there).

Minpunten

Terribly managed. The people in management positions are inept programmers who somehow became managers. There is a reactionary mindset as opposed to a proactive one. It's nice that they foot the bill for much of the health and dental plans, but those plans are pretty low-tier and lacking. One co-worker kept his dental from his last job via COBRA rather then taking the dental from JBS. For a company where everyone works from home, you'd think they'd be better at communicating, but communication is a big problem. They tend to take a reactive approach to things rather than a proactive one. And if you try to be proactive, they treat you as though you're being a nuisance. In the almost 2 decades I've been doing this sort of work, I'd never experienced as much stress as I did at JBS. The company acts as if they are afraid of their clients, always saying "Yes" to unrealistic timelines and invariably failing to deliver on time when they've made promises like that. When I interviewed with them, they sold me on the company as having the best of the best. While some of the newer employees are pretty sharp, this company is, in no way, employing the best of the best. Not even close. I've worked with much more talented people than I did at JBS. All in all, working for JBS was a miserable, stressful, frustrating experience. It would serve as a textbook example of how not to write software or run a business.
