Pros

The people in the new hub in Barcelona are incredibly amazing and open, love the energy of the new hub. Good benefits.

Cons

Teams often feel burned out due to ego-driven directives that attempt to take on too much beyond their scope, thereby sacrificing team well-being and work quality. Or bored because of a lack of direction and strategy, therefore feeling like their work has no real impact. There are too many internal politics, too many people in middle management and too many directives stuck in old ways of working (micromanaging, destructive and infrequent feedback, Agile masquerading Waterfall Practices...)

Pros

Good pay and benefits, lots of pipeline molecules

Cons

Nimble initiatives just remove responsibilities from other groups and give them to other groups- lots of time is wasted on molecules that have not been properly evaluated
