Pros

The people you work with are some of the best in the business. The team environment has been amazing.

Cons

This company will drop you in a heartbeat. The "holding company" makes poor business decisions and in turn it affects the heart of the company with mass layoffs to individuals who worked for the company for decades. My experience with Grifols has been a positive one but only because of the teams i've worked with. Not because the company actually cares about it's people.

Pros

Grifols Emeryville offers great work life balance. The atmosphere is generally low stress as the processes are fairly simple and straightforward. There are plenty of smart people who are mostly easy to work with. Also the cafeteria is excellent.

Cons

Any major decision (promotions, hirings,anything budget related) must go through Barcelona. This means things like adding needed headcount can take months and advancement is really a crapshoot (promotions can get local approval then sit indefinitely). We are all at the mercy of who dont seem to understand what we do or what kind of investment is necessary. I question the business sense of upper management as they speak of expanding our output while not investing any more money into us. Seems they would rather spend money acquiring companies instead. Another side effect of this is that pay/benefits/perks are not on par with the rest of the bay area. This costs us talent. Lastly, the IT group is beyond incompetent. Dealing with them makes the DMV look like a trip to the spa.
