Pros

The company is making good products.

Cons

Everything is driven by Barcelona if you follow the orders and don't apply your brain, it's the best place to work. Lots of politics. No growth opportunity for US employee, you never know when you are going to lose your job especially in IT USA(because IT resources are cheap in Barcelona). If you don't know Spanish PLEASE DO NOT JOIN IT department. Consider working here at your own risk.

Pros

Good for phlebotomy experience Meet interesting people Learn to keep plates spinning Good health benefits, but not enough to outweigh the health impacts Learn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment

Cons

Have to unlearn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment High school drama and toxicity, management is the prom king/queen Cliquey dramatic management team Reneged agreements Playing favorites, rules for thee but not for me Private employee info gets spread, often by those who are relied upon to keep it private No work life balance or boundaries, and it's an admitted and perpetually unaddressed fault Have to be made to feel guilty for wanting to leave production, get a break, or go to the bathroom High turnover "Is everyone else working as hard as I am?",-Everyone, and eventually you
