Pros

Very good computational resources available with marenostrum. Many interesting european projects.

Cons

Bad, chaotic management, even worse pay. Pay doesn't come close to the cost of living in the city. Hires many skilled people for work with the bare minimum in terms of benefits. Not enough desks in the center for the employees.
