- 2.0Mar 14, 2016Software EngineerFormer EmployeeBarcelona
Pros
You are bound to find some very talented and friendly coworkers. The environment is very relaxed and the hours are fairly flexible. The studio has cool facilities better than the average in Barcelona. The human resources does a good job in organising events seasonally. I think it's a good a place to start your career.
Cons
Unfortunately, in terms of management and communication, there are some serious deficiencies. Managers are still at junior level and the company doesn't provide any training for them. There is a lot of secrecy or lack of communication. Communication channels are very narrow and you need to be inside certain circles to learn what is going on. I was promised many interesting projects in my interview and most of them turned out to be non-existent and the core of my job was unrelated to any of them. Creativity is very low as the policy of HQ is to copy successful external models as much as possible. There is no viable culture to encourage collaboration and team-work.

Pros
A good place to start and you will learn a lot... The environment is nice and the people are friendly... You get to do a lot of practice on the things that should be done and you will see be able to do too many things very fast...
Cons
No one will help you... you have to figure out a lot of things alone... No team work at all... You have to fetch information from other teams and you will be dealing with open source products developed by the company and not well documented...
