Pros

Generally good people working there after many of the spaniards, brazilians, etc. that came in with Sovereign acquisition have left. Compensation is strong to retain employees

Cons

The model of having all things run through Spain is nuts. And the IT model of sub companies based in Spain, paid as contractors in the US is not one that works for advanced markets. When business requirements are translated, literally, theres a lot lost in translation. My opinion is its intentional to allow centralized IT in Spain continue to dictate the direction of the company based on cost savings from shared technology. Fine with emerging markets...but US is a different game.

Pros

In general terms, if you deserve it you have good changes of being promoted an also there are opportunities for changing you career inside the company. Wok-life balance I would say is positive, of course you can work as many after hours as you like but also many people leaves work on time and that is no problem. Benefits are very good. Excellent Health insurance, 401K among others

Cons

Salary is below average. In general the careers inside the company are not developed, I mean that there are employees with good experience and there may be a junior that just came to the company, and even may have no prior experience, and he/she can still have better salary than the older and experienced one. Simple does not make sense.
