Pros

"Flexibilidad", no hay guardias, nunca se trabaja fuera de horas de trabajo excepto casos muy excepcionales. La carga de trabajo no es exagerada.

Cons

El salario (especialmente cuando empiezas) no es competitivo con empresas del mismo sector. Para posiciones de IT/Support se puede paliar con un poco de progresión (que por cierto, es lenta), pero si eres un researcher no establecido o empiezas ahí... mejor plantéate otro sector, especialmente con los costes de vida de BCN y las pirulas contractuales que te van a intentar colar si quieres trabajar en modalidad de master student o haciendo doctorado.

Pros

International exposure and a relaxed environment.

Cons

People continuously late at meeting/talks. The center is advertised as a multicultural center with people from over 50 different countries, but at BSC English is used as the last resource. It's common to have meetings or daily conversations in a language that not all participants understand enough; making integration for new people very difficult. This is not only my own experience as I've heard many people complaining about it. If you want to research at an international level, please, switch to English. The same is valid for emails. Depending on which department your group belongs, there might be no or rare opportunities to network with other groups. Low salary compared to industry.
