Pros

Good salary for Spain and a respected name on the CV Bonus is an expectation, so you don't have to earn it

Cons

No career development, you can be at the same level for over 15 years and never move up. Absolutely 0 upward mobility Highly political, most high level directors come from good Spanish families or are extremely well connected. Promotion based on who they are not what they have accomplished No incentives to improve as bonus is more or less guaranteed, no management or coaching training given. Costs constantly being cut, company is a slave to the share price All work is top down, you carry out the demands of your immediate boss, no matter if you are an intern or a senior director. Creativity non existent and frequently punished
