Pros

Reasonable work-life balance. Confortable environment.

Cons

Poor or no recognition for excellent work. Very low salaries, cost of living in Ireland is very high and the salaries doesn't keep up. All the products have very complex implementation, commonly over-engineered. Poor reuse of industry standard technologies, it has a tendency of creating things from scratch involving a lot o people with no experience. Difficult to deal with many veteran staff, they have inflated egos and very frequently bad arguments, poor social skills, terrible leadership abilities. This includes senior engineers, master engineers and managers. Excess of bureaucracy for developing software. Agile is a facade that everyone pretends that is working fine.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
