Pros

High salary. Only reason the job may be worth the effort. If you get hired by them be sure to negotiate the highest salary you can and get something in return because you will have to save up for your future unemployment. They hire you for 6 months, you do all their dirty work and then they discard you like dirt.

Cons

HR, Leadership, Managers, Fake feedback and Transparency. They are a US-only agency, charging US prices to clients but having about 50% of their workforce in Spain. Let me lay it out to you: In a major US city, an average yearly gross salary is about $80-100k give or take. In Spain, it looks more like $35-45k. It’s half. These guys take advantage of this and hire a lot of professionals in Spain for financial gain, no remorse here it’s fair game. The problem comes when they have a core team of 5-8 untouchables and then 10-15 constant new hires, which they keep rotating every 6-10 months. They hire new employees, try them for 6-10 months and discard them because in Spain we actually have decent employment laws they don’t have in the US. They won’t keep you more unless you bend your back for them and get exploited by working extra hours or on useless, pointless, annoying tasks that the main players don’t care to do. In Spain, by law, we have a 6 months trial period when starting a new job. Within those first 6 months they can fire you for whatever reason on the spot. They do this and rotate employees every few months so they don’t have to keep employees for a long period of time because otherwise, unlike in the US, there is only one way to fire someone on the spot: paying a lay-off compensation of 33 days per year worked based on your gross salary. For employees having worked 3 years or more this can be about €20k give or take, increasing the more years you spend with them. Senior employees are very well protected and know it, hence they mostly do the bare minimum and don’t really put in much effort (in Spain, US employees break their backs since they are not protected like this). Why? Well, because if they get fired the company must pay them a hefty sum. Solution? What I just explained: hire constantly and fire the new hires so they cover the lack of work the managers actually do without risking having to pay any form of compensation to them. Avoid at all costs unless they pay you well, but be ready to just have a 6 month job.

Pros

I truly love working here! The opportunities to work with diverse clients on lots of content types make every day interesting. A great place to be if you like to "do the work" - on the Content Team, we really do a lot of writing and editing; we're not just farming it out. What makes this place special is the team. My colleagues are not just smart and creative—they’re also kind, authentic, and genuinely supportive. It’s an environment where everyone encourages each other to grow, collaborate, and keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. I’ve grown so much in my career here and feel proud of the work we’re putting out. If you want a place that challenges you in the best ways, surrounded by talented and thoughtful people, this is where you want to be.

Cons

Fast-paced environment can be demanding at times. While we look to uplift the team through new opportunities, growth can ultimately depend on client load/revenue, as is typical for agencies. Even so, if you're a go-getter, the sky is the limit for meaningful contributions you can make here.

Pros

-Remote work provides flexibility. -Most of Terra's employees are friendly people who are good at their jobs.

Cons

-The pay is below average. -The organization is siloed w/poor communication. -Too many unnecessary meetings. -No meaningful opportunity for career advancement. No training. -The sales and account teams lack awareness of how to fulfill most services, resulting in unrealistic client expectations and timelines. -The leadership team is very cliquish and doesn't respond well to outside voices. -Managers tend to provide minimal direction, micromanage, and gNat-pick work without providing actionable feedback. Meanwhile, they'll use AI to generate their own work. It's a low-trust environment. -The quality of the work was inconsistent. -I witnessed at least 2 fellow employees thrown under the bus for decisions they were not responsible for. Don't expect to be backed up by management. -No real culture. -Several colleagues expressed frustration with unrealistic workloads and timelines.
