Pros

Just one: some coworkers, that's all.

Cons

Very unprofessional: They treat people like machines, don't care about their employees at all. For example, they are making people going to work to the office during the state of emergency declared because the COVID-19. Also, there are salary gaps between CDD Analysts for no reason. So, it doesn't matter if you work more than some Analysts, you can get paid less.

Let us start with saying that our company and the way we work is not perfect! That cannot be as we started our Operations team in April 2019 (one year ago) and grew very fast in the last year. So we can still (and want to) learn (and can) from all the feedback we receive. So, thank you for sharing your opinion with us! But we not always recognize our company in the feedback provided. For example, regarding the COVID19 situation. We feel that we treated this process very carefully and always paid a great deal of attention to the health and wellbeing of our colleagues. Being a highly regulated business, we needed time to safeguard the health of our employees according the guidelines provided by the Spanish authorities, but also assuring business continuity. We feel that we have done everything we could to make sure that people were safe, able to keep their job and we could continue the business after the COVID19 crisis. We also do not share the opinion or feeling that people get promoted on the base of friendship and we think that this is based on performance and personal/professional growth. We know that growth is important to many of you (you let us know this in other words as well) and therefore we created additional trainings and created career paths within the Operations department. We hope that we can accommodate to everyone in their needs for professional growth. In under a year we executed on a above market compensation and secondary benefits. These were also related to the outcome of sessions we did in January this year and we installed a survey (every 1-2 months) measuring where we can improve. Again, not everything is perfect in our company, but we are doing everything in our power to improve! In case you still want to continue in a conversation, please feel free to reach out to HR@fourthline.com.

Pros

- Up-to-date tech stack with a strong focus on innovation - Freedom, trust, and autonomy — your opinion is valued - Competitive yet collaborative work environment. Really nice environment & people. - Empowered to step out of your comfort zone, take initiative, and lead new ideas

Cons

- Company leadership is based in Amsterdam, so Barcelona voice has less influence - Financially, the company is not fully stable; departments face layoffs every 1/2y - Career growth slows significantly after reaching Senior Software Engineer; however, if you start as a junior with ambition, you can grow quickly and make a strong impact - We always finish the quarter without having the next quarter’s initiatives properly refined. This makes estimates completely unrealistic, deadlines are missed, and the first sprints of the new quarter are always spent finishing leftover work or trying to analyze what to do next.
