Pros
Unlike other companies, I had received rise and bonus although working less than a year for the company, I think Spanish managers are pretty caring, emotional and alive which is better than fake smile giver one.
Cons
Hoping Repsol will establish European maternity leave package for all his female employees

Pros
++401k seems to be above average (100% match on up to 6%) ++if you are an ex-pat, benefits are HUGE (paid private school for children, house stipend, company vehicle, etc) ++work life balance is great(depending on your manager)! ++great company for going to work, doing nothing and collecting a paycheck ++with the low price in crude, this is a great place for job security
Cons
--absolutely no career development/progression (for non-Spaniards that is) --only 1 non-Spanish director (in the US office) creates environment for extremely preferential treatment --salary is well below industry average when comparing similar positions and experience levels --cost of living salary increase has been less than inflation last 2 years (I am technically making less money today than 2 years ago!) --Talisman acquisition/transition will be a nightmare-->Madrid will jump right in and start micromanaging by placing new Spaniard bosses in formerly US/Canadian teams --most inefficient IT system ever imagined-->need a cable for your monitor? well then you need to email Madrid --yearly bonus is determined by closed door popularity contest (stay a couple years and it's impossible to not notice) --nearly all new hires in management/upper level positions are Spaniard --pretending to be dumb and "brown-nosing" are highly encouraged here --favoritism is rampant in the office --if you do not speak Spanish, prepare to not understand half of the conversations going on in the office (in the USA!) --managers do not know employees salaries, only HR and directors. this makes it impossible to negotiate a raise when the person you are talking to barely even knows your name. --managers/team leaders (most, NOT all) are very condescending, really kills office creativity and idea sharing
