Pros

The company has great products. In the innovation they give a lot of freedom to Developers which results products only when real engineer are in the team. Great opportunity if you are a very engaged person. All inclusive salary which is good only if you are good because then they rather increase your salary. They use their own planning and issue track system. Scrum is just touched were make sense owever management is always open to try something new: in Barcelona we introduced GIT while the rest of the group uses CVS because of the wide range of platforms supported; however the whole Development moved then to GIT were possible. The overtime average in Spain is 5h per month but many invest at home extra research time which is seen and recognized.

Cons

There are team leaders for each group, two development managers and a VP and CTO all very present in the evolution of the software. So if you want a lazy work environment avoid them, they want people that love their work. The office in Barcelona is quite old and hopefully we get a new one. IT wise absolutely at the top with top investment.

Pros

- Great colleagues and friendly environment in the Barcelona office. - Flexible schedule. - Competitive salary.

Cons

- Lack of a development process due to management's unwillingness to follow methodologies. No meaningful planning nor requirements. Re-implementing things over and over again and last minute changes is common practice. - You will get a card to check-in and check-out in the office. They track your working hours to the minute. Crazy this happens in a tech company in 21st century. - The product, although technically challenging, is completely out of sync with the rest of the world. Constantly trying very hard to answer the wrong technical questions. - Old school, slow moving company. - No career plan. Not a single performance review from my manager during my time there. - Every year around April the company hosts its main event. Expect to work lots of overtime, including weekends, for at least two weeks straight. You might also have to travel to the outskirts of Vienna during this time. Overtime is not payed. - The Barcelona offices are in bad shape and outdated. I was told it was only temporary. Not true. They've been there since they opened the Barcelona office +4 years ago. - Although it's a relatively big company there is no middle management. You will, like most people, respond directly to the Vice President. Heavy micromanagement from his behalf. - Huge egos among senior management make them oblivious about the mistakes they make.

Pros

Working in great teams, having lots of experts in wide areas in developing applications. Using newest technology and in-house full development, nothing outsourced, so full access to all experts Freedom in development of new applications, no full control of management - flat hierarchy - taking own decisions about implementations and strategy (which of course means also to take responsibility for decisions), promotes independent working never getting bored because always new challenges Management is open to discuss new ideas and suggestions From a personal perspective I would recommended the company at all to collect experience, apply your experience in interesting projects and also to have a good working environment with great colleagues over many years.

Cons

open-concept in working area, so no small offices to work (which can be annoying if you have to work concentrated) no home-office or flexible time programs at the moment some of the pros can be seen as cons, depending on which kind of worker you are - if you are not self-organized and do not like challenges, it can be hard to get into the ISIS world
