Pros

When I joined the company I thought I was a good developer... soon afterwards I realised I had just scratched the surface. If you are a backend software engineer, this is a company where you will definitely grow. The company has to deal with high-concurrency and high load problems due to the amount of requests per minute it gets from its customers. You will also find a high talented group of professionals that have two things in mind: technical improvement and business KPI improvement. The company has a wonderful learn & development department. They offer courses for free to any employee specially in soft-skills. From the technical side, all the engineers have a personal Safari Online books account for reading anywhere anytime. Also the teams are encourage to schedule periodical sessions for improving in their technical skills (code reviews, knowledge sharing, code challenges). Software is java based, and it is continuously improving. The final tech stack depends on the team you belong, but there are some of them that are doing POC with Java 11 and JBoss EAP 7.2, which are the latest stable versions available. The company have a tailored framework adapted to their specific needs. You won't find Spring here. The offices are nice and located at 10 minutes walking from Barcelona city centre. Nobody will push you to do extra hours or stick to hard deadlines. The company has a group of agile coaches that will introduce you to the way of working in the company, but in the end, the specific procedures are defined by the team. Free afternoons on Fridays (from 3pm) Free coffee

Cons

The software platform is still in the middle of a transformation to microservices in cloud. This migration is being painful. Ramp up is quite slow and it will take time until you start doing really meaningful things. So, before you start to shine in the company it could take 2-3 years. It will also depend in the team and project you work. I got 2 promotions in 5 years. You have to adapt to the T-shape tailored engineer that the company is looking for. Engineers do not only code, but think in how to evolve the product they have been entrusted with, from the technical side, from the Quality side and from the Business side.

Pros

The pro's of working here make you see that any place you have worked previously that you thought was bad is nothing compared to eDreams.

Cons

Chaotic environment. The unnecessary pressure, stress, expectations and meaningless tasks imposed on the workers hinder them from being able to a great job. It is sad to see so many talented people go to waste. Most people love their chosen career path and see eDreams as an opportunity, but working at eDreams has many people resenting their job. There are many people that have relocated from across the globe for the purpose of working here, lured in with a relocation package, bit once they realise that they have made a huge mistake feel trapped knowing if they leave they have to pay it back. They have adopted a culture of firing people on the spot with no substance as the fines they pay in court are minimal.
