Zero privacy and confidentiality: any topic of conversation both personal/professional are regularly laundered around at all levels. There are few Managers and/or HR representatives that you could count upon. Little or zero training provided, often the company cherry picks and is generally unfair, especially to those outside of HQ Barcelona.
At all levels, in all locales pandemonium is rife. Changes and new procedures are poorly executed, materials poor thus leaving most trapped in a time warp and lost. Conflict between senior management meaning directors results in a culture of fear and loathing amongst teams that must work together (co-located or otherwise) are often at odds and never listen to each other.
Lack of leadership, trust and empathy results in high levels of anxiety and stress for many. The kinds of language used and cascaded down the ranks has been highly unprofessional.
Many seems to work excessively for little reward and renumeration, although your role may include on call availability _anserw of emails and phone) this should not equate to what I have witnessed.
I honestly cannot think of many happy people, this is often the one thing that binds and helps teams bond - sad right.
