Pros

Honestly, there are no positives to this company.

Cons

NPAW is utter chaos. There are no processes, on-boarding or training pratices in place. New employees are expected to execute large and unobtainable projects within short deadlines, without any prior training or support. Oh, and I arrived on my first day to find over 800 emails in my inbox, mainly spam emails or newsletters that I had been signed up to, without my consent. I came to NPAW to fill a role advertised for a native English speaker and yet I was given a laptop, keyboard and software to use which was all Spanish. I was receiving emails in Spanish and Catalan, making it difficult to work. Apart from the professional shambles, the culture is toxic. I was told that the company was international and that there would be many languages spoken and it was a great place for anyone to be. I soon learned this was not the case, and that people were only willing to speak Spanish at me, or around me in work and social situations, leaving me isolated from everything. When explaining several times that I was not yet conversational in Spanish or Catalan, people only shrugged and continued their conversations. I believe several members of the team are xenophobic and had no interest in welcoming me to the business. I don't believe that working here can help anyone develop professionally, or personally, employee welfare is non-existent and if you want to feel part of a valued team, then do not consider applying for a role here.

We are really sorry to hear that you have felt that way in your time at NPAW. We work enthusiastically to create a welcoming, nice and stimulating atmosphere; we are proud of our open, flexible, and dynamic teams and culture. Based on our experience, it takes from 1 to 6 months for new employees to complete the onboarding plan to deliver results and be 100% autonomous. We understand the first week on a new position can be overwhelming and we do our best to accompany new members throughout this period of changes —by identifying goals with your direct manager, setting up a progressive working plan, and reviewing all tools available and eventual roadblocks. We will use your feedback to revisit and improve existing processes where needed. As part of our compliance policy, we do not provide any personal information from our employees without consent by any means. Privacy is very important for us and we are fully compliant with any privacy laws applicable in our country (GDPR, LOPDGDD). Under no circumstance, we would ever provide such info. If newcomers receive newsletters, it is simply because those are sent to the department distro the person is part of. Finally, we embrace diversity. NPAW team has grown from 30 to 90 people over the past 3 years, which today includes over 15 nationalities across all teams. English is our official language for all formal communications. However, Spanish, Catalan, French or Russian are also spoken languages in the office. We are proud of our open, transparent and welcoming team that is always happy to receive new members. We would like to thank you for your feedback as this helps us to grow and improve day by day. We wish you all the best on your new endeavours.

Pros

Management shares a common goal with all employees. Higher-ups empathize with their subordinates. Management also listens to suggestions / issues that employees have and actively work to address them.

Cons

Decision makers can be slow to grow the development team. The hiring process can take way too long
