100%

Startups can be far worse than established companies because of lack of resources, external pressures, uncertainty, immaturity, etc etc etc

I would look for established companies that people you admire recommend for good reasons (not ping pong + food).

Barcelona may be a tough tech scene but there are good companies everywhere. Happy to share more notes about evaluating company culture if it would help.

True, they can be far worse but they can be rewarding too. Especially if they end up being a successful establishment. High risk High returns.

In my experience. I have had more opportunities to show what I know and learn new skills at start-ups. The lack of resources is what provides these opportunities if you're willing to continually self teach and anticipate a need.
