Pros

- The client is one of the biggest technology companies in the world - Modern and comfortable workspace - Central location in the heart of Madrid - Good salary

Cons

- The management team was chosen for their ability to take orders from above without asking questions as opposed to experience and leadership ability - No desire (or knowledge how) to improve processes. People who want to do that are seen as "trouble makers". - No attempt to retain staff - Obsessed with procedure rather than results - Micromanagement of employees, at times it feels like a school - High turnover of staff - The work itself is boring and repetitive - No direction or vision from the management team - Demotivated colleagues, everyone just does the minimum - Zero praise when you do well but they jump on you the second you "step out of line" - HR issues diverted to a separate entity in Barcelona who have no clue what goes on day to day in the Madrid office - No career or development prospects, they just wait for your contract to run out then replace you

Pros

The only "pro" is that you are working on a project for one of the largest companies in the world

Cons

- No support from LocTeam regarding administrative, legal, HR etc. issues. It is as if LocTeam treats its own employees as enemies - No real LocTeam representation in the client's office, so most paperwork exchange, questions and such are done via emails with their HQ in Barcelona. Current "management" present in the client's office has very little decision-making power and feels powerless to make any meaningful changes - You never know when LocTeam's bosses are in the client's office. They just show up without announcement and unless you bump into them in the corridor, you will unlikely even know they were there - Too much shady business behind the closed curtains: you are never told anything until the very last moment leading to a lot of hearsay and gossiping - Zero chance of professional growth - LocTeam does not invest any money in their employees, so forget about acquiring new skills or knowledge - Salary growth non-existent even after several years of work - Absolutely no bonuses - Absolutely no job benefits - Subpar salary for Madrid (well-below industry average)
