Pros

Exposure to Solar Power Plant Technologies, Design and Field work, European Company which has its Pros in exposure to new and interesting Spanish Culture.

Cons

Complete loss and waste of time, they force you to sign on drawings that you did not design (if you are a PE, you are in hell), they threaten you with your job if you do not sign, a lot of backstabbing, quick revolving door (Engineers in and out too quickly). They put all the work on your shoulders, I refused to sign so I just left the company. There is a large need to make the real workers with the US experience to supervise all designs, and the spanish engineers learn the US codes and standards, not vice versa. This company is new to the US, and there is an extreme discrimination if you are not Spanish. Do not dream of being treated with respect, they don't even regard you as an individual if you are not Spanish, even if you speak the language.
