      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary for Spain and a respected name on the CV Bonus is an expectation, so you don't have to earn it

      Cons

      No career development, you can be at the same level for over 15 years and never move up. Absolutely 0 upward mobility Highly political, most high level directors come from good Spanish families or are extremely well connected. Promotion based on who they are not what they have accomplished No incentives to improve as bonus is more or less guaranteed, no management or coaching training given. Costs constantly being cut, company is a slave to the share price All work is top down, you carry out the demands of your immediate boss, no matter if you are an intern or a senior director. Creativity non existent and frequently punished

      Telefónica Learning Services (now Telefónica Educación Digital)

      Senior project manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible time tables, social benefits for employees.

      Cons

      I worked in Telefónica Learning Services (now Telefónica Educación Digital) for 13 years. The basic cons is that they have absolutely no respect for basic human rights: Giving opinions, communicating any personal point of view and choosing with who you want to have lunch was absolutely controlled and punished in case of doing something considered inappropriate (not only when talking to clients or external people, but between employees inside the company). I was under strict surveillance, obliged to work over the workday for more than 3 hours a day and obliged to work when being sick at home. Anyone with a special talent was punished if he or she was too brilliant and only mediocre silent and acolytes to the personal interests of bosses had the chance to be left alone. I had the chance to continue in the company, but I decided to quit, as my basic values were being assaulted.
