Pros

Good working atmosphere, good if what you want to do is gain some experience in the field. Great CEO.

Cons

Very high staff turnover, people seem to view the company as a stepping stone onto greener and better pastures. Slim chances of promotion within a reasonable timeframe. Some departments can seem very clicky and sometimes the company feels somewhat nepotic. Salary is just ok for Spain but is below average for other companies in other countries doing business in the same field. If you are good at what you do you are better off giving Ravenpack a miss and trying your wares somewhere in the US or UK.

Pros

Located near the beach Most people are nice

Cons

Toxic place to work. HR creates a fearful environment. If they don't like you they'll make your time there unbearable and they will bully you until you leave. They like to fire people in the morning without warning and have them pack their things immediately. They also hoped that building a nice office would cover up the unhealthy environment but it really doesn't. The company is an extension of highschool...full of cliques and dirty looks. I wouldn't suggest working here unless you desperately need the money. HR has also emailed employees asking them to leave 5 star reviews so many of the 5-star reviews on here are not genuine.

Pros

Interesting multicultural mix of people, office is close to the seaside so it's nice to go for your lunch break there. I think the owners would like to think of the company as one of these high tech cool companies so they added a slide and a bar in the basement. Some very interesting specialists in the field work for RP that I am not sure what are they really doing there.

Cons

wow. where do I start. Micromanagement, lack of trust, people get promoted if they are friends of the higher management, empty promises and big words that mean nothing. "we are great, we are innovative" etc. but it is all based on overpromising and delivering a product that no one really can verify how accurate it is. Overall weird atmosphere of people being afraid to complain too loud because HR boss comes unexpectedly and fires you during lunch break so you don't even have a chance to say bye to your coworkers (not a joke, there was a season of witch-hunts). I've never seen before people crying in the office and I did at RP. Hardcoding, loads of manual work because it would give the results we want, not the results we produce. Frustrating work environment, especially for honest and hardworking people. People get different treatment depending on whether HR likes you or not. Only a few really hard working, knowledgeable people that are rolling this ball up the hill.
