Pros

multicultural environment and some decent people.

Cons

This was by far the worst company I've worked at. At first it was fine (alot of fakeness) but you quicky come to learn of their horrible managment and alot of favouratism in the company. People are ONLY praised on their numbers and nothing else like leadership skills, social impact etc. You're micromanaged, the way you should speak to clients and candidates, the tone you need to use, what you should and shouldn't say. No recognition, and you're always compared to people who stay working over time.

Hi there, Thank you for your feedback. We've recently been impacted by Covid-19 and had to make adjustments to salaries, commissions and employees as most employers have in Barcelona. If you'd like to discuss your experience with MA confidentially, please get in contact. Wishing you the best, Matt

Pros

The CEO has always been very friendly towards me

Cons

1) My time at Montreal Associate was unfortunately marred by a high degree of micromanagement. The work culture seemed to prioritize oversight to an extent that hindered productivity and creativity. This pervasive micromanagement made it challenging to feel empowered and trusted in my role. Regrettably, my experience was further compounded by what I can only describe as the worst managerial relationship I have encountered in my professional career. Effective leadership, communication, and support were sorely lacking. This not only impacted my job satisfaction but also hindered my ability to perform at my best. I believe it's crucial for potential candidates to be aware of the management style within Montreal Associate and to carefully consider whether it aligns with their preferred working environment and career goals. Transparent communication and a healthy balance of autonomy and guidance are vital for fostering a positive workplace culture, and I hope that this feedback contributes to the ongoing dialogue about improving professional experiences. 2) Very very very low salary compared to the market and other similar professions
