Pros

A catchy logo on your resume.

Cons

Low salary, no career plans, no growth unless you're a friend of someone. The worst management I've ever known, selected not between the best (that leave) but the ones who say yes to everything. The result: mid-top tier roles filled by yes-men and yes-women, with poor-to-none hard or soft skills to fit the position. Promotions are offered as a retention strategy rather than a growth one, only the ones who don't see it will get through it. Smart ones leave way earlier. Unmotivated pressure, poor understanding of other markets but Spain. Creating and executing a strategy for more than 400 people can't be delegated to someone with no experience doing that, with no technical skills to know what they're talking about, and with no interest in understanding basic commercial and business frameworks. Just yelling "we are Factorial, we own it" doesn't make that a value and doesn't make you a visionary leader. Turnover above 50% YoY. Is that a metric for a people-centric company? Seems not to me.

Pros

Peopeo are amazing to work with

Cons

Management in the US is really poor. They claim to have strategies, but they keep changing them, so there's no solid direction. Regarding compensation, it feels like they're just squeezing employees to hit quotas. The longer I work here, the more I feel like an intern without a clear career path. They always push us to move fast, using the excuse of being a startup, but it just shows they don't have a good plan for the US market. Please learn how to be a good leader instead of just pushing and pressuring us. I've never seen such poor management.
