Pros

Worked with some really smart and supportive people.

Cons

I can't speak for other offices, but the following reflects my experience of the culture in the Dublin office: - HR Complaint handling is poor, with a UK-based HR team taking a passive role rather than ensuring fair and objective outcomes. - Mediation and conflict resolution is not taken seriously, with unqualified individuals running ineffective session. - Employees who raise legitimate concerns may find themselves pressured to stay silent or risk having negative feedback recorded against them. - Some line managers prioritise authority over mentorship, which can create an environment where employees feel controlled rather than supported. - There seems to be a culture where line managers are more inclined to support each other rather than acknowledge and address problematic behaviour within their ranks.

Pros

Great support team and I was always busy with tasks to complete

Cons

Due to the variety of different projects each for a short amount of time, getting to know people well was difficult!

Pros

Outstanding variety of work, the local team in the Madrid office are fantastic people. New Madrid office on Gran Vía is really nice too. Madrid pay is excellent relative to Spanish salaries, and the regional UK offices pay decently as well.

Cons

Working with the technical team leads in London is a truly disgusting experience. You can never trust a word they say, even if it's in writing half the time, and they will chew you up and spit you out. I was lied to my face repeatedly by higher-ups. Micro-management is also through the roof with them; you find yourself questioning even the phrasing of simple Teams messages. They persistently play politics with people on lower grades, openly devalue you in front of colleagues, and are hilariously clear about playing favourites. People at lower grades should not have to have stand-up arguments with someone in a leadership position of another office (London) when the latter tries to blame an intern / graduate for something that one of the London team messed up.
