Pros

Good work life balance, friendly environment and people, working from home when you ask for it, very flexible

Cons

All decisions are made in US, Dublin office feels like an off shore development center. You have very little or no influence at any of decisions or things that are done. It is very hard to catch people in US to get answers you need, seams like they forget to pass on the decisions that are made there. You could literally be stuck for days trying to get things done. Very little space for progressions, as you are far from the main guys and barely visible. Decision making in Dublin office is driven by people who are there for longer and not by what might be the best for company/product. If you have ideas or opinions, this is not the place for you, as it won't be listened or you will have to fight lots of people just to be heard.
