Pros

Cool terrace and relaxed environment, good perks like free lunch and breakfast.

Cons

The company is "self-managed" and it creates a toxic working culture with a lot of tension. My advise is STOP self-management and improve leadership.

Pros

- Supportive, international team: I appreciate the collaborative environment and openness across teams - Growing company with clear mission: PlayaMedia works passionately on digital marketing, SEO, community management, and online advertising with the goal of “rocking the communities” they serve - Work–life balance: The company strives to make working there “as sweet as possible” in return for hard work - Great office location: The Barcelona beach‑side location is a genuine perk

Cons

- Limited size: As a smaller company, growth opportunities may be more limited depending on your role - High expectations: The company clearly values strong commitment and hard work, which might feel intense for some profiles
