Pros

They pay all your university enrollments while doing a Master's

Cons

You have little time for yourself, but that's completely understandable (you're studing and working at the same time)

Not recommended for long-term

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Research background and networking with outstanding companies in the field (research and industry) - Working with cutting-edge technology - Attending conferences and meetings all around the world - Flexible work-time and vacation - Social activities - Location

Cons

- Very low salaries - Very hierarchical organization with a single authoritarian leader - Absolute lack of management skills in direction/management positions - Groups are constantly falling apart. Senior people leave BSC by default and they are not being replaced. PhD students struggle a lot. Some of them quit PhD - Long-term workers are burned out. They stay because they are tied to Barcelona

Research work with great colleagues

Computer engineering researcher
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Smart coworkers, diverse research groups, easy to communicate with many people across the organization, nice campus, state of the art research topics.

Cons

The breadth of the research is usually tied to a select group with little networking and collaboration across different groups. Expectations and responsibilities can be a bit vague and there is little consistency in management styles.
