      Good corporate potential but sadly rotten in its core.

      Pros

      Nice offices and good perks. HR team very helpful and professional.

      Cons

      Processes are painfully slow, the company is light-years away from where they believe they currently stand, and the management team lacks very basic (but essential) qualities: people management skills, ability to offer continued training, identifying issues and driving efficiencies within the sales team, ambition, corporate vision, proactive attitude and encouragement when needed. There are a number of people in the wrong management positions who lack experience and skills required. A big shame.

      Sexist managers, incompetent staff

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Some of the people are great, nice location, salary is average.

      Cons

      Some of the managers are maybe the most incompetent people I have ever met, still they think they are awesome. It is almost funny. I actually think they went too far in pushing women to management positions. There is kind of a man-hating atmosphere. I am an equalist, not matter your gender or background, you should be judged on your skills and character. At Softonic there is a poisonous feminist trend. You will scare away talent just because they happen to be male.

      Pros

      The city of Barcelona International team Nice gaming area (great if you prefer gaming instead of working)

      Cons

      badly paid too much nepotism (managers that are managers, because they are lot´s of years in the company - and not because they are qualified) production process is very slow no innovation, main business ideas just copied from the competition "the Spanish Problem" = difficulties to be realistic due to the management constellation no courage to sign experienced people (e.g. from competitors)
