Worst place to work

Pros

Employees are a combination of survival of the fittest and solidarity of "we are in this hole together".

Cons

I was warned against Isdin prior to joining the company. I thought it couldn't be as bad as I had been told. Oh wow, I was so wrong! Isdin's atmosphere reminded me to that of Stalin's worst USSR. When you join you feel something is wrong but it takes you a while to put your finger on it. Then one day you realize it is fear. Remember those scenes described where nobody dared to be the first one to stop clapping when giving a ovation to the dictator? Well, you can find that same kind of situation at Isdin. Isdin presents itself as a modern company, please do not fall for it like I did, they are just another extremely hierarchical and unorganized Spanish company.

A company to avoid

Pros

You can buy cheaper products.

Cons

I had always imagined Isdin as a company with a great culture and work environment. But it’s just the opposite: a workplace where people can feel anything but valued and where you will never be able to develop your potential for a company career. On your very first days, you’re instructed and trained on the right behavior to be adopted in the company. It’s exactly like a sect. You undertake an “ISDINitzation” training: the perfect opportunity to brainwash new employees with the –poor- values of the country and up-coming launches of first-in-class products -which are not first-in-class products at all, just good copies of products in other markets- . A very low investment in specific training plans and R&D, weekly firings on Friday afternoons for “disciplinary issues” and an unexisting commitment towards reconciliation of work and private life make resignation and survival the most developed skills of employees. It is a very Machiavellian company: a cynical disregard for morality and a focus on self-interest and company gain. I only regret not having known all these before taking the job.

Pros

Absolutely Nothing. The only pro would be this company will probably implode on its own due to its unethical management.

Cons

Everything- management is extremely unethical in its expectations to their employees, they will ask you to put orders in without your accounts permission just to hit your goals.
