Pros

Mature company with clear job roles and responsibilities. Good benefits.

Cons

Very little room for upward mobility now that the company has reached maturity. Company claims to have values of Open, Together, Impactful. In Barcelona over the last 18 months we've seen multiple rounds of layoffs, more and more work expected of less and less well resourced teams. In that time I have found communication from senior leadership confusing, contradictory and misleading. I'm not sure that the company's proclaimed values have been followed very well at all during that time.

Stability but not career growth

Business Outlook

Pros

Reliability, famous name in ad-tech, visa support for non-EU citizens, salary is okay, friendly atmosphere in the office, quarter bonuses

Cons

Conservative stack, slow in making decisions, consistent troubles with their new employee paying system. It's possible to show the initiative over time - seemingly many opportunities - but in fact they are not ready to promote people fast merit-based. Lots of bureaucracy.
