Pros

I had such a bad time here as an Engineer I can't list pros. Thriving in a new role.

Cons

I have never lasted as short in a company in all of my career. I wasn't a SW developer, I didn't apply for a SW job but I was made a SW developer!? Don't be fooled by job specs - they mean absolutely nothing here. (Note other reviews saying the same ) This particular job is not worth the heartache. There are many reviews on this site saying all the cons. My favorite is the fact one cannot take annual leave as this company has taken the word Agile and tried to fit it in to make a company as unagile as can be! Not allowed to take Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays off - Great craic!

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
