Pros

Lots of extras such as free language courses and psychologists/coaches, possibility to opt for ticket restaurants and insurance in payrolls, parties and side activities.... Very regular payments. New pipeline brings hope for the future, the old one was awful. Hybrid/remote work still accepted. The company is big and has (a lot of ) money, which means no one really cares if an artist is idle for a day, or a week (or 5 months?). No one will even notice, unless he himself points it out. I list this as a pro, only because it explains how little stress there is during production: even when everybody is rushing, you won't be personally bothered or blamed.

Cons

Chaos in production, deadlines and priorities constantly change, communication (especially between departments, but not only) is very hard. There's a massive waste of time and money due to bad management. The management tries to force a very American mentality in an almost fully Spanish environment: the results is that none of the parties feel comfortable.

Pros

The movies in development are amazing and completely original. The studio is looking to grow and improve. It's relatively easy to move between departments inside the company. Great quality artists and techs in every department. Shuttle bus from many points in Madrid city. Diverse and open minded. Over time is paid with equivalent time for holidays.

Cons

The building is outside Madrid right now (between 20 to 30 minutes from city center by car). The salaries could be much better. The working hours are not great (start at 9:30 in the morning - end at 18:30 in the afternoon).
