When it comes to choosing where to work, the opinion of those who are already on the inside makes all the difference.
What consultants say: Aubay’s review on Teamlyzer and other evaluation platforms
That's why we decided to do something different: publicly analyze what people say about us on the main employer review platforms in Portugal, such as Teamlyzer and Glassdoor. No filters. No hiding criticism. Just honesty.
What we found on Teamlyzer

- Average hours worked: 07:58h per day

What consultants highlight as positive
When analyzing the most recent reviews, some positive patterns emerge:
- Great company to start in Portugal
Several junior consultants highlight Aubay as an excellent starting point for those beginning their IT career. The company offers learning opportunities, access to projects with reference clients (banking, insurance, telecommunications) and a supportive environment.
- Good work-life balance
One of the most recent reviews (submitted a month ago) highlights: "Good work-life balance". This is a recurring theme — Aubay respects schedules, does not promote a culture of excessive overtime and values consultants' well-being.
- Above the industry average
A Java software consultant wrote: "Better than the average". Compared to other IT consultancies in Portugal, Aubay stands out in areas such as salary, training and stability.
- Competitive salaries
The salaries reported on Teamlyzer place Aubay above the IT consulting and outsourcing industry average. This reflects our commitment to financially valuing talent.
- Diversity and inclusion
With 43 nationalities working at Aubay Portugal, diversity is one of our greatest assets. Consultants from different backgrounds feel welcomed and integrated.
What needs improvement (and what we are doing about it)
Transparency also means listening to constructive criticism. Here are the most mentioned negative points and what we're doing to improve:
1. "Not very transparent" (feedback from some consultants)
The criticism: Some consultants mention a lack of clarity in internal processes, such as career progression or project allocation.
What we're doing:
- We implemented quarterly feedback meetings between consultants and account managers, where goals, progression and next steps are discussed.
- We created the Aubay Culture Manual, which clarifies values, expected behaviors and internal processes.
- We are strengthening internal communication with monthly newsletters about career opportunities, training and available projects.
2. "Not the worst, but far from being good"
The criticism: A Java consultant (6 months ago) left a mixed review, indicating that the experience was "ok", but not exceptional.
What we're doing:
We are investing in Aubay Academy, with hundreds of hours of technical and soft skills training. The goal is for each consultant to feel they are growing, not just "clocking hours".
3. Recruitment process with "very invasive questions"
The criticism: An interview review (5 days ago) mentions that some questions were considered invasive.
What we're doing:
We review and improve our interview guide to ensure that all questions are relevant, respectful and focused on technical and cultural competencies.
We constantly train our recruiters in interview best practices, with a focus on creating a positive experience for all candidates, regardless of the outcome.

Areas for Improvement:
- Some consultants mention that career progression could be clearer.

Client satisfaction: 4.6 out of 5
