ABA English Culture:
Here

rely on people. With that in mind we constantly strive to provide the
best working environment possible to ensure the success of each member

When
choosing a place to work, we believe culture is one of, if not the most
important differentiator. After all, it's where you'll spend the
majority of your week! Our office in Barcelona is in a start-up hub for
creative businesses.
When
we wake up we look forward to coming in, and find our jobs challenging,
stimulating and enjoyable. We take pride in working for a business
that's both highly innovative and making a lasting positive impact on
the world and enjoy kicking back after a hard week's work with an
inter-company hangout and beers. Every quarter we try to go out for a
cultural or team building event.
