Pros

Previous employees of this place are taking the time out to tell other people applying for employment at this office the honest facts.

Cons

Too many to count! I was looking for another job the first week that I was there. Very angry, overworked employees equals negative atmosphere. No structure, guidelines or expectations given. Basically you just flounder!

Pros

-Exposure to different types of projects -Transferable soft-skills (leadership, teamwork, dealing with difficult people, communication, etc) -High learning curve when you start a new project. Get thrown into the "deep end" often, but it does help to learn things quickly -Independence and leadership opportunity if you are leading a project -Travel (if you are lucky to get it) can be to really "cool" locations both domestically & internationally with very good benefits -Young and international co-worker. Most of whom are willing to have fun outside of work and a few will become your good friends. -Occasionally good people in managing positions who care about the people working for them - Yearly, or almost yearly trip to Madrid paid by the company

Cons

- Inefficiency. Work can sometimes be done in half the time but given the 9-7 expectation, there is not much incentive to finish early. - Hours can be brutal due to inefficiency and poor management of resources. - Some people in management/leadership positions can be micro-managers who are too deep in the details. Others are only yes-man that never question their superiors, and they expect people working for them to obey without independent thinking. As a result ->unreasonable workload, unmotivated workers, and a lack of a clear direction from leadership - While you do learn overtime, most of the projects can be fairly boring and do not require much intelligence or thinking -Very big discrepancy in benefits between traveling and local based consultants. -A majority of things are done/announced at the last minute; including long-termed travels -Low base pay -Lack of formal training after the first two years

Pros

-The people are very down to earth, young, and fun to work with, contrasted with the stodgy old people that mostly work for our client. - A good bit of down time to focus on personal stuff, never too intense. - My friends think I have a cool and interesting job (hah). - I don't start work as early as some of my other friends, get to avoid traffic

Cons

- higher than average hours. Most friends get off at 5-6, we leave at 7 no matter if you have absolutely no work to do. - salary is poor for what the job entails. I'm not in a big city so I don't expect a lot, but compared to my local friends that have similar work and skills, I get paid the least, but usually work the most. - They admit salaries are not wild, but assert that raises are very good. That is not true from what I have experienced and seen so far. Maybe slightly higher than normal raises, but your 'bonus' is factored in to the salary/raise, so it is realistically lower than you think. Also, your raise at the end of the year is actually a POSSIBLE bonus you will receive at the end of the NEXT year. Also quite a letdown. - They basically sucker in locals to work for a year or two. No one wants to stay, most have left already. You work alongside Spaniards that are here temporarily, and they get free housing and daily stipends. Locals get nothing.
