Pros

The only pro is that you meet loads of international and interesting people

Cons

I have worked for this company for 2 and half years, transitioning from project coordinator, to project manager and finally to team lead. Does not matter if you work in the Barcelona office, NY or LA, the company culture will get you! To summarize, the managers and the directors treat you like machines, are abusive and only care about themselves. The company culture embodies this abusive behaviour, and people ascend just because they are aggressive and repressive. I only stayed for so long because my colleagues were amazing and they were trying to survive like me.; I really thought I could make a difference when I was promoted to team lead, but no. The only role of the team lead is to be aggressive and abusive to their team, threaten them to get results, so the big bosses can enjoy their bonuses and present big numbers to directors as if it was their own achievements. They are so abusive that they make you believe you are in the wrong, but do not be afraid to speak for yourselves and to sue if necessary, as many people should have done it.

Not a very good choice

Pros

Stable employment, it’s very difficult to get fired

Cons

Basically no wor culture, it’s a big corporation where people are supposed to serve as robots that follow the instructions 100%. There are no clear goals, just projects coming up all the time. Not much space for growth, unless you like this kind of environment. I quit because my ambitions were not at all satisfied

Pros

Not many. They lie to you in the beginning and then decide how they'll treat you based on if they like you.

Cons

They give you an insulting amount of work right from the get go. They pretended the training period work is "standard" but they really just give you mass amounts of small jobs to make the rest of the team's day easier while you're stuck managing a ton of small projects. The culture is very cliquey and if you don't vibe with your boss and trainer your days become very long, lonely, and toxic. I spent almost every day skipping lunch and working late. They don't care how much work you put in they only care if you can handle the work and even if you tell them there isn't enough time they don't care. They just pretend that they've been up front with you and that you should go to them for help, but they never help they just insult you.
