Pros

Maybe some coworker but it's possible you don't find anybody out of "The TCK Sect" because every normal people are escaping from this place.

Cons

As IT ex-worker I told you something: TCK have the worst thing about agencies and big consulting companies. People without any tech knowledge make deals with the clients and finally the developers suffer the consequences. TCK don't follow agile methodologies, everything is about "cascade workflow", the worst one indeed putting the pressure on the developers. Don't use new technologies, don't testing (they have removed the QA department), don't know about work estimations, don't know about how to use the correct tools for development.... About 80% of the developers can tell you that sometimes they left the office crying, because the pressure, the managers get stuck them with the responsibilities about bad management, infinite work days... Leads preparation is a myth. You will have a "Product Owner" or a Whatever-Lead *without* any background in this area, but *he/she* is a good friend of someone, so... The salaries are a bad joke. They probably promise you increase your income after few months but don't trust them, they are one of the best liars I found in my life. An advice: if you ask for your promised salary promotion, they'll ask you about merits and tell you something about "don't be a mercenary". Their job offers should end with: "Be our slave and a great worker, we'll pay you in season's parties, stickers, welcome packs, team buildings and cereals for free!!! " The average of working period in the company is one year. They'll tell you this is because TCK is a launch platform for your career.... But the truth is you won't barely bear more time in this place.

Pros

Great work environment with all junior coworkers.

Cons

They're really cool on social media, but they arent in the inside. People here only work for a year or less, and this is not an opinion, is Human Resources data. Salaries are really low. C-Level care a lot for their clients, but they ignore employees problems

Pros

The Cocktail is one of the most famous and big design consultancies in Spain and this is why this place is a kind of a gas station. Is a place that you stay for a while and get some fuel to go ahead.

Cons

The Cocktail is a place that just let you by your own. They have a lot of initiatives to create the idea that something good for the team is happening but no one of those ideas survive more than 4 months. They just put you to work and let you go when you starts to realize that they will not give you any motive to stay. No salary adjustments, no position review. The turn over is really huge and sometimes this overloads the team with extra work. Is a very horizontal company when you need any help to make your job done but when you need something from the company they use the same excuses that every big company has: "We don't have money", "We need more time to evaluate your position", "We need to show your profile to the board, and than they will decide about your position", "let's make this another one-year carrer plan". If you are a Mid-Senior looking for a place to grow, it's better to try another place.
