Pros

Lunch was provided on a daily basis

Cons

Very disappointing lack of support from Management and Directors. I found it to be distinctly lacking in team spirit, it is every person for themselves and even if off sick or on holiday, you are still hounded and nobody offers to take up duties in your absence and you come back to a spirraling mess! The goal posts continually move despite concrete proof of job descriptions when first applying, in my case this was largely ignored and I was basically told I had to accept it and I was expected to align with it. It also comes to something when you are asked to write a positive review to counteract the negative ones....

Pros

Young dynamic company with a family feel, allowing for a good work/life balance It has avoided a Corporate culture, allowing the management team to be diverse, flexible, and adapt to market changes and challenges, which is the norm of the sector in which the company operates. Staff are dedicated and hard working Opportunities are available for the staff to grow and develop Ability to experience different working cultures and learn from it's international presence They value the collaborator, they see us as a person, not a number Good benefits Invests in knowledge

Cons

In any company communication is always an achilles heel. Whilst Basebone's communication has improved, it could be better, and its staff must remember that there are other offices to engage with. There is nothing wrong in picking up the phone and asking a question, ultimately improving on collaboration.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We've worked really hard to build an entrepreneurial start-up culture within our offices globally. Despite being forced to figure some things out as we go, our CEO is really proud of the way we have and continue to transform our organisation even with the challenges we’ve endured along the way. There is still a lot we can improve on which is work in progress but it's fantastic to hear your experience is a positive one. Thank you for your commitment and we look forward to continually working with you.

Pros

Its a young, energetic and vibrant company, the main office is in Marbella with smaller satellite offices scattered around. The office is funky and there is a real entrepreneurial feel to the place, your opportunity to grow is only limited by your imagination and capabilty. Its a young company and the main office does have a really social vibe. Benefits are great, including a short day Friday to start your weekend and free lunches. They may not always get it right it terms of staff initiatives, but the aim is there to be the best employer around.

Cons

There is working at pace and feeling manic, Basebone balances between them. Some of the techies felt the technology wasn't "current " enough. Most of the managers are pretty new to leading, so culture isn't always consistent across the business, they are keen to get it right though.
