Pros

Most of the employees are friendly and supportive, which makes the work environment a lot better, especially considering the challenges with management.

Cons

1) Disorganization is a big issue. There are no clear guidelines or deadlines, and the directors change their minds on projects based on their daily mood swings. Many colleagues are waiting for better opportunities in the industry to move on and leave this place. 2) The HR management is like the rest of the leadership team: unfriendly and difficult, always saying to be too busy to help you. The focus is on criticizing employees for chatting in the kitchen or buying coffee outside the office, instead of working on the real issues. At least the rest of the HR team is friendly and helpful. 3) The work environment in the Spanish studio is unhealthy due to a lack of effective management. Leadership gives ultimatums to fire employees or cancel remote work. Ironically, they try to cover this situation with a Christmas dinner, as if a few drinks and snacks could make employees forget the issues. 4)The company promotes itself as an international studio, but the reality is different. If you don’t speak Spanish, you’re left out of the loop, as most communication is in Spanish. This makes it difficult for non Spanish speaking employees to feel part of the team. 5) Management consistently blames the artists and points fingers instead of looking for solutions. On top of this, it is very common to hear discriminatory comments from leadership, which is disappointing considering there are employees from other countries, not just Spain.
