Labor exploitation at all levels

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent career prospects to move to another company once you have spent some years of your life in the company. Professionally a very interesting job.

Cons

Very competitive and toxic atmosphere. Massive labor exploitation at all levels working on a daily basis always more than 12h and many days up to 15-16h a day. They expect 24/7 availability without considering any personal circumstances. They say client always comes first. If you do not agree with all this, you will have trouble with managers and with colleagues as well. Very toxic company.

Pros

You get to work with very intelligent and talented people across different industries and if you want to, across different geographic areas. Exposure to senior management at large local and international clients with sometimes very challenging yet satisfying discussions. High tempo and a steep learning curve, especially on how to manage and prioritise tasks.

Cons

Poor work-life balance, but most likely an effect of the generaly long working hours in Spain and as a consultant you always stay longer in the office than the client. Very little continuity and possibility to see the result of your work, as you normally get shifted into a different project before the client starts implementing your solutions. Sometimes also very frustrating from a staffing perspective, as you rarely get staffed well ahead of a project starting.

Impact on client Decent salary if compared to the market (but still below PE)

Cons

Long hours, especially in Spain Office environment (meaning colleagues) all representative of the most conservative side of Madrid, with very closed mindset
