Pros

Great people, often too busy, sad or angry to build strong liaisons. My team was awesome (Engineering, Quotes and e-learning).

Cons

Everything else was a complete disaster. For a start, management is terrible. Non-experienced, no seniority, no meritocracy. Hardly 6 or 8 people at the office live like kings, partying hard, and the rest is miserable. If you think you are going to join that selected group by drinking with them, doing overtime or bullying another colleagues ... sorry to say, you are not going to be part of that aristocracy. Salaries are all below market, but they still demand impossible skills from the candidates. As they pay peanuts, young and junior employees are forced to work extra hors and bank holidays. You are not supposed to have your own life outside the company. The company is about to be sold, as the two CEOs have been declare uncapable to run the company and it is very likely that the main managers at the BCN office will run away or get fired by the new owners. I could keep writing pages and pages about the company, but just check the rest of the reviews (not the shameful fake ones).

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
