Pros

Belinda is a sweetheart and colleages are generally nice. It's probably OK for a first AAA game experience.

Cons

Organisation is a disaster, testers are often left out of management info and they're late communicating important things. The NDA is extremely abusive and the pay (mostly if you are Spanish) is piss poor. You're not allowed to put on your resume the titles you've worked on even if the game is already out in the market, which hinders your possibilities to be hired by other companies. Be careful as clients have the power to cut the projects short and the company won't help relocate you in another project or anything whatsoever. If you have to go to the doctor (or have something important to do) they will force you to do overtime (even if there's nothing to do) just to please the client, as they hire per hour, which I'm not sure is legal at all. Also, if you get sick you'll just get fired and be replaced immediately.

Pros

Working on great titles. Great colleagues.

Cons

Contracts don't give you any sense of stability. Money is bad, minimum wage, and workers' contribution band is the same as a till employee for a supermarket.

Pros

They usually work with top leading clients with games that are really fun to test. The office is really cool and they give you soft drinks, biscuits and fresh fruits (they buy them the Monday and usually the Wednesday there are no fruits anymore). The project managers are always willing to help you and the work ambient is really good. Your coworkers will be one of the best things in the company, as they usually are really friendly and do team building on Fridays going to have drinks or dinner. If you come from abroad they will pay you the plane (with a limit).

Cons

The company is located in Malaga TechPark and you don't have option for remote work as you work with confidential software (games and client software) and hardware (next gen consoles). Parking is easy when there are not many projects in the office, and bus options (25 and Express) usually (not always) work fine to get in time. As you work in projects, when it ends, if there are no other project for your language, you will not work anymore and would have to wait until they call you again. Salary is not good and if you have to come from abroad you won't have many help for finding a flat.
