Pros

Restaurant within premises. I am afraid there aren't more "Pros"... So is DB SCHENKER office Barcelona.

Cons

The most homophobic, sexist, male chauvinist and awful workplace in Barcelona. Unpaid overtime!!! Yes, just it: they assume that every employee must work at least 2 extra hours for free on a daily basis. THEY DON'T PAY OVERTIME. Run away!

Pros

Not much to be honest. Office is modern and nice. Canteen food is good and cheap

Cons

8 hours a day of working with idiots. No investment in training, no communication. No pay rise in 4 years. No career. Just a number, they don't care about you only what you output.
