Pros

Fully remote and decent pay. Good introduction to working at a Tech Company. The people in charge of the Irish operations are very nice people and easy to work with.

Cons

Shifts are 6/7am to 3/4pm and you will always be working one weekend day. Also you are expected to work every Irish bank holiday including Christmas/New Years Day! A lot of micromangement and you will constanly be contacted by your TL if you're doing something wrong but rarely get acknowledgement when doing something right. Massive problem with staff retention which makes the role very stressfull as they don't replace people who leave or add extra cover.

Pros

There is a lot of new leadership breathing newness into the company. There is a rebrand on the horizon, different focuses and positioning, complimentary portfolio products, brilliant staff, new company values and more.

Cons

There has been a ton of change and while the new leadership is great, they are still getting their touch on things. This isn't all so much a con in general as it is to absorb, communicate, explain and soak in.

Pros

- BC hires great people - Is finally focusing on the product and its ideal customer rather than trying to be a product that it isn't. - Supportive culture - Good work life balance - Senior and Director leadership is caring and supportive - Really positive outlook for the product

Cons

- Has cut 10% of staff every year for the last 3 years and last year they cut most of their top performers that brought in the most revenue - No 401k match (although they may now) - Lower pay than most tech companies for the same roles - Either BC has the right people in place or they have the right direction to work in with the right leadership but never both - If you are remote, you aren't invited to the office much even for kick offs or planning. So you will feel a bit secluded. - Not much room for career growth as they keep cutting people
