Pros

Office is sunny. They hire some good people like me.

Cons

They dont care about the people, fixed salary is very low, it will all depend on your sales. However, its not an easy product to sell, since they dont offer any trial and want the clients to pay for a whole year license. Doesn't make sense. Besides that, they have no kitchen, just a common area of the whole building on ground floor, without plates or anything and always crowded and dirty. Terrible. They make you do bizarre amounts of cold calling that make no sense, the kpis are insane, they have kpis for demos, calls, everything. Terrible pressure and if you dont sell for ONE MONTH they fire you. The contract is also ridiculous, having an illegal clause that says you have to pay them 3K if you leave the company before 2 months. Resume: Run from this place. Unprofessional. Scam.

Thank you very much for your lovely comment! This is a startup, so we have the salary we can afford. But you knew it the roles of the game. We do not judge like you are doing, but you should not accepted to start if you thought was scrum... We have a churn rate (if you know the meaning) of 15%, and we have more onboard then sales in the team. The office is 380m2 for less then 20 people and you have an office and a big space downstairs that do not depend on us but from the building we are in. Anyway we thank you a lot for taking time to leave this lovely comment.

Pros

There is absolutely NONE. Maybe the team, but people come and go so fast, that you can not be attached to any of them.

Cons

Everything positive you will read here is a complete LIE, probably written by someone in the management team, worried about the truthful reviews that came up lately. I worked at this company last year, and the recent negative reviews gave me the courage to tell the truth. The leadership in Barcelona is useless, they have no idea of how to manage people, and the management only cares about the image. They take advantage of foreign talents, that don't understand much about the labour laws in Spain, makes you sign absurd clausules, and pay a very low salary under the promise of "meritocracy", and "you will grow really fast". Don't buy that. The product is difficult to sell, their lack of strategy and consistency will make your job imposible. There are major technical difficulties to use the product, no matter how hard you try to understand it. Business model keep changing every time, they have no idea what they're doing.

Thanks for the review. We are sorry for what your feeling where. When someone leaves the company is because there has been a problems between the 2 parts. The you were sales, you knew it the roles of the position, and that is the same everywhere, if you sell you stay otherwise you quit. Is that suppose to be normal for a sales position? We have people have been here 10 years selling the products and services, all depends on the commitment. Anyway we will learn form your experience and your review that in some way we would have preffered to have personally, as the contact with the management is very close being a StartUp. Good luck for your future.
