Pros

Good people in tech, as usual

Cons

Sinking ship. We had it good when we were the only game in Ireland. Now we are losing to not only the big international players but locals as well. Depending on where you work they will sack you with a week's notice if they dont have use for you. The business model is to get junior techs to upskill by getting them to perform the tasks of a senior. Then codec will charge a company at the rate of a senior consultant but never pay the junior to the value of their work. Overtime is always prioritised over personal welfare. There's only about 3 people in tech that have stable jobs. If they go the whole company will collapse. So many top people have gone. Morale and atmosphere is rock bottom. We won all these awards from Microsoft, Ceo tells us we are growing, but there was no pay rise or bonuses to anyone I know on the tech side. The level of scheming and backstabbing is incredible. No sense of teamwork or solidarity. Definitely no job security.
