Pros
- The projects are very interesting and some of the costumers are the bigest technological companies of the world. It's cool to work with talented people inside and outside of G+D. - The R&D team in Barcelona is great, at personal and professional level. They love what they do and have an admirable commitment with the projects that they develop. - Flexible entry/exit time and in summer you only work 7 hours (instead 8). - Management is (usually) not inside the projects, but outside. Most of the time you can work on the projects without management interferences.
Cons
- It is easy to find companies with better salary. - The work environment is noisy. A lot of people talking each other or on the phone. Sometimes it is hard to get focus on the problem that you have in the screen. - There is no office/kitchen space (but there is a cantine with daily meals) - No free coffee. Seriously? This is gas for the engineering people. - Travel "diets" or compensation are too fair. - The company is on the outskirts of Barcelona. Private transport (car or motorbike) is almost necessary. Consequently is in the middle of nothing. Literally (search it in google maps) - There are no internal career opportunities in R&D.
