People is the essence of companies and what makes them growth
Pros
I worked for a franchise of Le Wagon. + State of the art work tool-kit + Great programming worldwide community + Made friends and enjoyed meeting people from different walks of life and helping them progress in their careers as coders. + Good conditions but broken promises + Visibility and network growth
Cons
Franchising models makes all the business side fall to a single person. - The franchise owner puts his economic interest before the students. - Extreme micro-management. You'll work with a guy that wants to control everything you make, making you feel worthless and who wont allow you to be yourself and put in motion any initiative. - Impossible character to deal with. Hyper introverted, always annoyed, shady, dishonest, schemer, shrewd, etc. I seriously think my manager was not a a good person at all and therefor, doesn't represent the values I learnt at Le Wagon being a former student. After firing me he wanted to destroy my career writing managers of other position that I was interviewing for, I consider that mean and despicable. - Rude manners and lost in translation management rhythm - Super poor communication skills with employees and 0 team building. - Poor team management abilities. - Lack of the necessary investment. I had to pay things in representation and good interest from my own money. I never got that money back from him. - Lack of business vision. The list goes on but definitely I wont recommend you to work with the franchise owner in Spain. No one likes him.
