Pros

Other than pay, the benefits are good.

Cons

Horribly mismanaged from the top down. Understaffed and overworked employees are expected to provide work within almost laughably small amounts of time. Locals are replaced with Spanish newcomers on a consistent basis with most other jobs farmed out to contractors. Management positions also get filled with overseas employees. Turnover and inexperience are everywhere as a consequence, leading to confusion and more mismanagement. There is extreme confusion among employees on a daily basis. Employees are open with their discontent and over the years, the environment has continued to get more toxic as the job force has been cut only to be replaced with loyal employees arriving from overseas. Compensation does not reflect market values. Avoid if possible. The future is the axe of regulators and the government.

Great working environment and great perks for employees

Cons

Although the company is headquartered in the United States all of the serious decisions are made in Spain and Europe rather than here

Pros

Solid pay, amazing benefits, best 410k match I've ever seen. Very generous PTO.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement, very high turnover, getting anything accomplished is a challenge. Management knows there are major issues, but nothing changes. Job would be bearable if the manager were replaced. Way too much finger pointing.
