Repsol reviews

The company management is poor, and has gone in recent years from bad to worst. The middle management should do what is request to be done, no different versions from the boss must be provided. Human resources claim to be supportive for the people, however they admit and eventually support decissions made by the Business Unit Director, they will made up a good excuse when facing the employee. Directors make mayor decissions during the weekend barbaques, make sure you are in the loop (are invited to the BBQ), or you´d better look for a new place to work... your career is over in Repsol. Managers are fear of face tough situations. CLIMA says it all, year after year the results are worsts and worsts, no real action. Really poor work planning, and working on week ends, is a must if you want to show off... (says by various managers and executives managers) the perfect place to "Trabajar al pedo".

--absolutely no career development/progression (for non-Spaniards that is) --only 1 non-Spanish director (in the US office) creates environment for extremely preferential treatment --salary is well below industry average when comparing similar positions and experience levels --cost of living salary increase has been less than inflation last 2 years (I am technically making less money today than 2 years ago!) --Talisman acquisition/transition will be a nightmare-->Madrid will jump right in and start micromanaging by placing new Spaniard bosses in formerly US/Canadian teams --most inefficient IT system ever imagined-->need a cable for your monitor? well then you need to email Madrid --yearly bonus is determined by closed door popularity contest (stay a couple years and it's impossible to not notice) --nearly all new hires in management/upper level positions are Spaniard --pretending to be dumb and "brown-nosing" are highly encouraged here --favoritism is rampant in the office --if you do not speak Spanish, prepare to not understand half of the conversations going on in the office (in the USA!) --managers do not know employees salaries, only HR and directors. this makes it impossible to negotiate a raise when the person you are talking to barely even knows your name. --managers/team leaders (most, NOT all) are very condescending, really kills office creativity and idea sharing
