Worst office ever.

Pros

It took me only a few months to realise that the office's management and approach to work is not being effective, motivating or productive. Designit Barcelona is not functioning properly, and this has been clearly evidenced by the fact that three other unhappy coworkers left while I was there (two of them in tears). The only pro was my salary, but most of the time I wasn't given projects to work on, so I did not feel rewarded or valued at all.

Cons

- Directors not qualified for their role. - No efforts to get new projects or clients. - Poor resource management. - Terrible communication with other offices. - Performance reviews not based on objective feedback. - No engagement with the local design community. - No encouragement to develop career goals. - Noisy workplace, extremely hard to focus. - Culture of unnecessary long work hours, regardless of productivity. - And overall, a general lack of commitment to address these issues.
