Pros

Well, easy going hard working environment. If you love cloud technologies and have passion to support customers this is the place for you. Managers are friendly and helpful. Fast paced work environment.

Cons

* Only you are responsible for your career growth. * For promotion you will have to go through the same interview process say approximately 5 rounds from CSA to CSE. * Promotion from one level to other takes more time say years and depends on your manager. * Compensation is not good & equivalent or similar to US folks, With same designation they get to make more profit when the cost of living is comparatively equivalent in Dublin and even more with some aspects. US $ value is almost equal to Euro now! * Yearly appraisal value is not high as well, With small employers in Dub its easy to make 60k but here it takes time to reach it. * Stock bonus is restricted to some percentage usage every year and it is taxed as well with the high tax system. * Interview and promotion process is very long and complicated.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
