Pros
Free food in the kitchen, office very close to Dundrum shopping centre, some great social nights organised.
Cons
Very poor management from top to bottom, to my knowledge, most of the managers there did not hold any type of a management qualification and it was quite evident. Very poor communication, you didn't know if you were ever doing a good job and you certainly didn't know you were doing a bad job until it was too late. I personally took on extra work during my time there to help meet tight deadlines and was never shown any gratitude. You were expected to stay past working hours and never given any appreciation, instead you got the cold shoulder if you left at the time you were contracted to. Given the type of work that it was, it should have been very straight forward to convey objectives and have formal training, but even this was lacking. No incentives either to progress your career there, no pathways to achieving further qualifications, during my period here the staff turnover was huge given the office size (over 8 people left) which should have been a sign to management. I would absolutely not recommend Medserv to a friend, if you are looking for a career based in this area you are better off working directly under a consultant or in a hospital.
