Definitely not a tech company

Pros

- Lots of flexibility. - Reduced working hours in Summer and Easter - The rest of the year you work 37h per week (Friday reduced) - Lots of perks: private health insurance, paid gym subscription, paid phone, once per year assistance to a conference of your choice and subsidise part of the cost of buying contact lenses or prescription glasses. - Plenty of resources available. Things are going really well.

Cons

(Only talking about Barcelona, which is what I know) - No passion, at all. A LOT of veteran employees (working for this company for more than 10 years). - Product driven. This is not a tech company, their marketplaces are first. Technology is a means only. - Team Product Owner egos. They often are opaque to their teams and want the merit. - Lack of focus. - Opaque about salaries.
