Pros

Flexible schedule, good atmosphere between colleagues, at least in the office in Madrid. Fringe benefits package is good compared to other companies in Spain, however the salaries are benchmarked and put at the level of salary conditions in Spain which is very low for the curriculums and experience that this company demands.

Cons

The company is run by financial principles. The only thing that matters is to deliver value to shareholders. Employees are those who suffer more the consequences with ever increasing restrictive HR policies: low salaries, low compensation for promotions, travel abroad with low-cost conditions. Talent is not rewarded and lately we are seeing that, despite the fact the company is able to attract good people the young ones are leaving soon as the conditions are poor compared to other companies both in reward schemes and career paths. There's too much politics at C and D levels, senior executives more worried about their packages than about the progress of the business and cross-functional cooperation.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
