Pros

Progressive, forward thinking company with great benefits, and great location in Bournemouth by the beach. Friendly staff and a relaxed working environment, with remote and office based roles available.

Cons

Not investors in people. Training is often lacking and is not enforced often leading to lack of confidence in employees. Hands off management style that sometimes cultivates discontent between employees. Lack of career opportunities and development.

Thank you for your honest feedback. Please do reach out to your local HR to specifically address your concerns. Progress is important not only in business but mostly in people we have in our teams; to enable their growth and their potential to fly, that is what we strive for. If you experience the opposite we want to her and address the issue.

Pros

The company spends a lot of money on events and parties which are fun to attend.

Cons

My experience with ESET has been extremely frustrating. Day‑to‑day decisions seemed driven more by internal politics than by performance or merit. Advancement and visibility often appeared reserved for a small inner circle, while strong contributors outside those relationships were overlooked or ignored. There is a persistent sense of nepotism and favoritism, which makes it difficult to stay motivated or believe that hard work would be recognized fairly. Transparency around promotions, pay, and leadership decisions felt lacking, and feedback was often vague or inconsistent. Over time, this environment eroded trust and morale. If you thrive in political environments or already have the right connections, you may do fine here, but for employees expecting a merit‑based, objective workplace, this can be a very disappointing experience. Would not recommend to professionals looking for fairness, accountability, or growth based on performance alone.
