Pros

Most of the employees are so kind and helpful. They're genuinely the only reason to stay in this job.

Cons

The company took a terrible turn when the original CEO was forced out. The work was always hard but perks, such as great bonuses, little tokens of gratitude, Christmas bonus, summer Fridays (half day once a month during the summer months), huge christmas party event, great health insurance really made it all worthwhile. Since the new CEO joined all of the above is all but gone. Not to mention the reduction in maternity leave pay, which i imagine is the first company in Ireland of its kind to go backwards in this regard. It is truly appalling the drastic turn the company has taken in terms of its treatment of staff. Best avoided.

Pros

I suppose it is good if you are one of the overpaid Middle or Senior Management, as there is no accountability at that level. Almost fully remote could be a pro, but it is handled terribly and teams are crumbling around it - but it suits certain managers due to location.

Cons

Dublin office teams, and specifically some of the legacy Admin teams, are falling apart - massive brain drain and no real efforts to either keep people or replace them with new staff. Multiple people have left the company in tears, worn down - these are staff that could have excelled in a better environment. It is a worrying trend, but the priority appears to be to offshore work at all costs. Any former goodwill appears to be eroding fast - there was previously acknowledgement of milestones for staff, 5 years for example was seen as a big step in the company - now the senior management take no notice, people management has fallen off a cliff. Roles have 'expanded' at certain levels - as in people playing the game have got promoted while doing less work than what would have been expected when the place was run well. Managers 'promoted' into less responsibility - it really is who you know. Too many managers on 150k to 200k plus, treating it like a gravy train - no concern for anyone else or the career development of more junior staff.
