Manipulation is subtle but constant - Anonymous employee Dragons Group Employee Review

Clear processes and excellent communication make managing projects smooth. The team dynamic is one of the best I’ve experienced.

Occasional resourcing challenges, but leadership works hard to address them.

Lots of talent on the creative team. A few good eggs that make the day-to-day tolerable.

My time at Dragons Group was marked by persistent burnout, low morale, and a lack of respect for employee well-being, particularly for those not based in Spain. Leadership is deeply disconnected from the day-to-day realities of the teams and often operates in a manipulative and opaque manner. HR lacks even a basic understanding of U.S. employment norms; for example, U.S. employees are expected to work on Christmas Eve and Black Friday, while their counterparts in Spain enjoy summer Fridays and more flexible schedules. Performance reviews are frustratingly flawed. Feedback often comes from senior leaders or managers on entirely different teams, people with no visibility into your work or direct contributions. This process creates confusion, damages morale, and provides no actionable insights for growth. Client transparency is also a major concern. In many cases, clients are not informed that deliverables are being handled by team members in other countries…a serious issue, especially when the work involves highly regulated content. This lack of disclosure is troubling and raises ethical red flags. Perhaps most telling is a sentiment I heard from multiple colleagues: “All the things I was praised for in my previous roles, I’m told I’m failing at here.” The culture at Dragons Group actively erodes confidence and undervalues the very strengths that professionals bring to the table. In short, this was one of the most disheartening professional experiences I’ve had. I cannot recommend Dragons Group to anyone looking for a respectful, fair, or sustainable work environment.
