Pros

Great people working there

Cons

Poor senior management constantly changing targets. Main target being sales and getting customer off phone as quick as posisble Don't treat staff like adults They dont do whats right for customer main priority is making money. Not willing to train staff properly (Standards have fallen hugely in the last 2 years) Little chance to progress if you are in Ireland on tech support most senior positions moved to the UK

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
