Pros

- the food in the cantina is not bad (not great either)

Cons

- very few, if any, real DS tasks, mostly you will be doing data analysis - no organized work (no Jira, no Scrum, no GitHub (or just some elements of it and badly implemented)) - lack of communication (e.g. no product owners) between DS teams and stake holders/management - as mentioned in other reviews, management is quite bad - no experienced people in DS/DE area to learn from - working place very far away from center, in an industrial area - too crowded and loud - compensation for DS job is below market values, probably that's why is not possible to get and sustain good DS/DE there - it looks to me as if they don't really want to do DS anymore, as it is too hard for management ;)

Pros

You get to travel and you get to travel benefits. You get proactive feedback about your job.

Cons

Vueling is a company that it's only interested on getting the flight possible. That means that they don't care about if the flight attendants are tired or overworked. Alex Cruz, the CEO, has openly admitted on several interviews that such high revenue of a company that's offering such a good prices on flights is because he pays nothing to his flight attendants. The people who make the flight possible because without them the plane wouldn't be able to take off. There is going to be many superiors (pursers or instructors) that will make your life impossible if they find something about you they don't like. And that could be someone that just have brain. A lot of jealousy involved. Especially if they have contacts working on the headquarters office. It is really easy for the company to fire and hire company cause of the contraction model they have. A lot of people gets hired with a six month contract expandable to 2 years. Most likely you will never get a full time position on the company. I stayed six months and got offered another six month contract but left because I got a job opportunity on my field.
