Pros

I had an excellent experience working with the Digital Center Spain. The Spanish colleagues were supportive, technically competent and always tried to find opportunities for me. The remote work environment allowed me to perform at my best, grow professionally and contribute to projects. I learned a lot during this period and appreciated the collaborative culture within the Spanish team.

Cons

Unfortunately, my experience changed significantly after being transferred to the Moroccan organization. Communication around the transfer was unclear, and I felt that my preference to continue working with Spain was not considered. Since then, I have spent long periods without being assigned to a client project while still being required to commute daily to the office, often without meaningful work. This resulted in unnecessary transportation and meal expenses and affected my motivation. Management placed considerable emphasis on utilization, timesheets and leave planning, even when the lack of assignments was outside my control. The pressure around occupancy created frustration instead of focusing on finding suitable projects. Salary progression is another weak point. Compensation is relatively low compared with the skills expected, and career evolution is slow. Opportunities for salary increases or professional development are limited, and expectations are not always aligned with the resources available. The strategic objectives communicated internally are ambitious, but from my experience there is sometimes a gap between those objectives and the operational reality on the ground. Overall, the quality of the employee experience depends heavily on the management team you work with. My experience with Spain was very positive, while my experience after moving under the Moroccan organization was much less satisfying.

Pros

- remote work - good colleagues - good projects

Cons

about everything : -very low salary -they just care about money from the clients and dont care about you as an employee at all -the benefits they tell you about at the beginning (health insurance, bonuses ...) are not directly accessible, i had to ask for it and remind them multiple times after i joined, which is exhausting, and doesn't feel right. - They have a poor internal management tools that are impossible to use taking hours of your time - very lazy HR team, whenever i need something it take days - HR team try to sabotage you sometimes (can't say the details), but if you're there make sure to check everything. - near 0 growth oppurtinities (your responsabilities will grow, but your salary and title will stay the same)
