Pros

The team is the only good thing about dLocal

Cons

Salaries are very low, dLocal likes to hire staff in countries where people are cheap. They prefer hiring employees in Argentina rather than in Uruguay as they are cheaper. Benefits are not inclusive at all. Most of the management team members have no experience running a big company and they are behaving like dLocal was still a small business. It makes it close to impossible to absorb growth, to support customers at scale and to manage talents. No HR for almost a year, so the core is rotten.

Pros

Great camaraderie among colleagues, who are always willing to help with any issues you face and support you in navigating the complexities of the business. The company is likely to continue growing and may become a better place to work in the future.

Cons

The work environment is quite toxic, with a culture that no longer aligns with what you typically see in product-driven companies today. Work-life balance is poor, and there isn’t much room for recognition. The benefits are not competitive compared to other companies in the industry. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re not used to dealing with constant pressure, often without a clear purpose, and working in an environment where everything is treated as an emergency, regardless of employee well-being. I witnessed too many burnouts and layoffs during my time, which was alarming.
