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.

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
