Pros

The company has grown rapidly and provides employees with a great opportunity to grow with it. Environment is young and fun, , but still professional. Goals are presented to you and are very clear- if you make them, you get promoted- very simple. The compensation is truly better than I expected. I began in September and was promoted the following August, so it happenned very fast. I am looking at another promotion in July and very excited.

Cons

There is definitely a lot to learn, which can be overwhelming as a new employee, particularly if you are right out of college and not used ot having a "real" job. The first year is tough- it's fast paced and there are a lot of expectations and goals- but they are all very attainable. Like any job, if you are willing to put the work in up front, you will reap the benefits in the long run.

Pros

The amount of work and dedication put it will directly affect your success here. You have the amazing opportunity to move up quickly in the company, which allows you to gain a lot of responsibility as an entry level employee. Being surrounded by people who are young, energetic, and motivated is the perfect work environment for someone who is striving to do well in their career. Managers care about your happiness and your career path- they push hard for such things as promotions and bonuses

Cons

Hard work, but if you are willing to push yourself, the rewards are really endless here.

Pros

- Not "too bad" salary for recent graduates in Barcelona - Good if you have not much on your CV

Cons

- Crazy stress to the point where you WILL see people crying at their desks. I decided to leave as I couldn't listen to people moan anymore about how depressed they were & I had had enough. - Training is non existent. - Long, long hours that are not compensated for (12 hour days). They tell you they will give you the hours back but have rules like 1 in a team off at once and you only deserve a day off if you are reaching goals that very few reach. - Management are useless, intimidating and run the department through fear with a discipline system in place called CAFs. If you make a mistake on a project you will have to explain what went wrong and be bullied into accepting responsibility even if the project was bad due to very low budget and only being able to pay rubbish linguists. - Do not value staff at all. - HR is frightened of management and do not do the job they are supposed to. The Barcelona office ran illegally without a union for over a year until it was forced to have one. It now consists of several senior people and the mailing list goes directly to the director. To summarize, only work here if you have nothing else & need experience - but keep looking, you can do better, I'm sure!
