Pros

Supportive engineering colleagues • technical challenges and legacy systems • International working environment

Cons

• Long probation period (6 months). • Bonus eligibility is formally linked to completing complex or long-standing technical tasks. • In my experience, employment ended during the final stage of probation shortly after major technical work was completed, making bonus eligibility effectively unreachable. • The termination decision was communicated only on the final day of probation, leaving no realistic time to prepare a job transition while remaining fully engaged in delivery work. • No transition support or compensation was provided upon termination despite completed commitments. • Employees may benefit from being aware of their labor rights in Spain and applicable deadlines to challenge termination decisions (e.g., 20 working days via CC.OO – Comisiones Obreras). • It may also be advisable to carefully review offboarding documentation and seek independent advice before signing termination papers.
