Pros

- Interesting and Challenging Projects - They pay the salaries on time - Health / Dental benefits package is excellent - Good people (unfortunately locals don't stick around)

Cons

- Don't value their non- Spanish people -Ignore local expertise/resources - Bring lots of people from Spain (even on clerical positions) -Reputation on the market is really bad (subcontractors always complain about bid shopping and many don't even want to send them prices) - Place inexperienced people in key functions - Very unprofitable, promised bonus on the offer, but this never happened (Don't count on their bonus) - Looses all good people, and has a very high turn around - No strong presence in Canada, which means that when the job is finished, you're done! Unless you're Spanish of course

Pros

The health and dental benefits package was pretty good.

Cons

No RRSP. If you weren't Spanish, you were treated like garbage. The only people promoted or offered to move to other locations within the company were Spanish. Raises and bonuses were not given for a job well done, they were given to the Spanish, the favorites, the butt kissers. If you spoke up about anything or anyone, you were let go.

Pros

- Willing to give 7% annual raise

Cons

- Not enough support for field level staff - Decision maker disconnected with field level staff - No development path for non-Spanish local staff - No professional development activities You know it isn't a company to stay when the 5-year and 10-year service awards are mostly for IT, HR and admin staff. My team was severally short-handed, and we had to do 20-hour shift on weekends for milestone yet expected to return to work on Monday. Such milestone was only there because management somehow believes it's achievable to make up for previous schedule lost and did not want to allocate additional resources. Also, all management are flying in from Spain, leaving a decision making team not familiar with local market and environment, as well as killing the progression path for local staff. They already lost a project in Vancouver because of this and clearly they did not learn the lesson.
