Pros

Colleagues are nice and fun, they are always willing to lend a helping hand and share their expertise, creating a culture of continuous learning and growth. Management care about employee development and provide ample opportunities for growth through training programs, mentorship, and career progression. The company places a high emphasis on work-life balance, offering flexible schedules and remote work options when needed.

Cons

Lack of cross-team relationship-building activities means that different team members do not understand each other well.

Pros

Work for high end clients Gain a lot of practical experience Colleagues are lovely, but turnover is high

Cons

Pay is exceedingly low for the high end clients worked on Training is minimal There is a lot of internal promotion to managerial positions, which can be good if the people with management experience / training are in these positions, but more often than not upper management do not have the relevant people skills. It's rather difficult to progress within the company

Low Base Salary

Business outlook

Pros

1. Great company for fresh graduates 2. Great colleagues 3. Nice office environment

Cons

1. Basic salary is low even if you've been with the company for a long time. 2. Lack of training and opportunities for IT Team members to get certifications. 3. No LinkedIn Learning, Udemy or Coursera access to at least gain training courses. 4. Benefits are basic. No benefits are automatically provided to the parents of the employees. Even eyeglasses benefits for employees are hard to avail as you would need to have eye grade of 5.00 to be qualified (my God! you want us to be blind before we could avail that? seriously?)

Pros

Easy to get hired, get quickly formed, gain a lot of experiences, nice colleagues, multicultural.

Cons

Salary will never be increased even if they promise it, exploitation of the employees, no way to talk to a supervisor about your needs, they only look for cheap labour. Please use it for a first work experience but don't stay there for more than two years.

Pros

Colleagues are young and from all over the world.

Cons

Low average and always using budget as excuse. No career growth at Barcelona office. Be careful of certain HR person as they tend to lie about things and hide critical information from you. High employee turnover rate as many good employee are leaving.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you appreciated working with a young, diverse team. However, we are sorry to learn that your experience at the Barcelona office did not meet your expectations. We take your concerns seriously regarding career growth, salary, and the challenges you mentioned with certain HR practices. We are committed to improving transparency, communication, and employee development across all our offices, and we will address the points you raised to ensure a better experience for all our teams. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the use of surveys and performance reviews, and we will ensure that they lead to meaningful actions. It's inaccurate to say that there are no career opportunities in our Barcelona teams. We have many examples of internal mobility, whether vertical, horizontal or cross-functional. Datawords
