Pros

The location of the company is actually really nice, the Parque Tecnológico is a pleasant place (although far out of Málaga centre), the office building itself also has a modern feel.

Cons

I can only speak from a Loc/Translation PM perspective, the games testing side of the business can be completely different: -the IT system, internet, tools and servers are prone to failing disrupting the work a lot - small company, no chance for a promotion, or a different role with time - the communication style of the higher management is unacceptable, borderline rude - the higher management in charge do not have the necessary knowledge and skills (people, technical, managerial or else) to run such a company

Pros

Belinda is a sweetheart and colleages are generally nice. It's probably OK for a first AAA game experience.

Cons

Organisation is a disaster, testers are often left out of management info and they're late communicating important things. The NDA is extremely abusive and the pay (mostly if you are Spanish) is piss poor. You're not allowed to put on your resume the titles you've worked on even if the game is already out in the market, which hinders your possibilities to be hired by other companies. Be careful as clients have the power to cut the projects short and the company won't help relocate you in another project or anything whatsoever. If you have to go to the doctor (or have something important to do) they will force you to do overtime (even if there's nothing to do) just to please the client, as they hire per hour, which I'm not sure is legal at all. Also, if you get sick you'll just get fired and be replaced immediately.

Pros

Good work-life balance, nice management and colleagues, great area with green spaces around the office.

Cons

The location of the tech park is quite far from malaga centre, so the commute took time. Some colleagues stayed in the nearby Campanillas, but I would still prefer to stay in the city centre as there's more opportunities for free time and social life.
