Anyone working in spain??
Hi everyone!
I've been offered a job at Publicis Sapient as a front-end developer (React Js).
What kind of work culture, work load and tech stack exposure should I be expecting?
I'm having 1 year experience.
I've also got offers from IndiaMART InterMESH Limited, Amdocs, Verizon and Collegedunia.
All for the role of front-end web developer.
I'm very confused between all of them.

In the early 2000s, I loved the office. It was fun. It helped to clearly defined my work life. My computer sat on a desk and I had to fire it up in the morning and turned it off before I left in the evening.
As my career moved along, I angled for promotions, in large part because of the perks. I felt accomplished when I moved from a cubicle to an interior office, then to an office with a window, and then to an office with a couch, table, and 3 windows overlooking the Statue of Liberty off in the distance.
That office provided a huge respite from my chaotic home life. It was the only space I had that was mine that didn't have baby stuff all over it. Concepting was like having a sleepover, as we'd just sort of hang out for days on end listening to music, watching funny videos, exploring ideas and talking nonsense until we had some great ideas. Non-creatives loved hanging out in there, and I got to know a huge selection of people on a personal level that I would otherwise have never gotten to know.
And sometimes I'd have to have tough conversations with people, and I could close the door to tell someone they did, in fact, have to use deodorant, or stop calling women "sweetheart," or gently listen to someone tell me about their upcoming cancer appointment. All in one day! All without having to book a cleverly-named conference room with glass windows where everyone walking by could wonder why I was making Jenny cry.
Maybe most importantly, it let people know that I was the decision maker. You came to my office with printouts for everyone and sketches that looked good with the headlines neatly written in. You thought about what you were going to show me and how you were going to present it. It was important to be on time. The office meant something.
I was only in the office half the time, the rest of the time I was on the road. Coming back after barnstorming all week was calming. I looked forward to it, my friends at work, my status in the world. It was nice.
Then, they took that part away and made me sit at a long, white table with 6 or 8 totally interchangeable office people with headphones on. No one spoke, or when we did it was whispered and quick so we didn't annoy the couple of hundred other totally interchangeable office people with headphones on. I found myself annoyed at the oddballs who couldn't keep their quirks to themselves. Humming when they typed. Chewing ice. Breathing. My favorite people at work--weridos--had to adapt to survive. The whole experience was soul crushing, and the fact that they imposed this so-called culture of collaboration on us as an innovation rather than a cost-saving measure was offensive. I had become a resource.
RTO? In a heartbeat. But this ain't 2005 any more.
This is the best writing I’ve read on Fishbowl in a long long time.
Are you still working in the industry?
You're not missing anything except unnecessary stress and spending too much time with people you probably don't like very much.
ACD 1 gets it. It was fun at the time but working from anywhere and having a non-job life is hard to beat.
…people were monitoring your bathroom breaks?
Nope. In all of my workplaces, the bathrooms have been down a hall or in a separate area away from workspaces, with multiple routes. I also just don’t care enough to notice.
Sometimes I think back to the days of pretending to look busy just to fill the time, and I can’t help but laugh. The only thing I might miss is the spontaneous coffee chats. But seriously, I don't miss all those mandatory meetings that should've been emails.
