Pros

- Hybrid working - Health insurance

Cons

- Salary is ridiculously low for IT standards in Ireland - Benefits are basically just Health Insurance - There is almost no salary progression after some years and they don't do bonuses for devs, just for the manager roles, which to me leaves no incentive for the employees to keep improving or to even staying there - 3 days in the office based in Athlone (since they implemented this a bunch of folks left) - Hierarchical culture of praising the managers or CEO even when they are being unreasonable or unethical - Bullying your colleagues is pretty normalized or at least it was in my team (not sure if I just got unlucky, but I saw this happening to others outside of team too) - You are asked to always perform better, even if you are given no reassurance, no sort of reward, not even basic tools to do your job, the company preaches this "raising the standard" idea that can be very burn out inducing.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
