- Information overload, especially when you're new. Need to learn how to decrypt some of it.
- There's a clear slump everyone hits about 2 years into the role. Stick with it and it's rewarding.
- Compensation & benefits are good, but not above anyone else (despite what the culture deck says).
- Heavy focus on culture blurs what's needed sometimes.
- Dublin is missing access to US leadership.
- Management promotion is great but management training sucks. Smart people figure it out, but not everyone has that bent.
- Forward thinking to some degree, but have had huge mishaps (Dublin office is like a hospital ward until we get new space, for example).
- Dublin facilities pale in comparison to US.
