Pros
Was a good place to work for me but have tried to objective with the pros and cons 1. Talented and friendly people at the lower levels of the hierarchy 2. Excellent benefits (food, insurance, days off, pension etc..) 3. Great office in Cork 4. Good work life balance in engineering 5. Easy interview process (but does seem to work as the company gets in good engineers)
Cons
1. Poor leadership (Not sure what happened. They seemed to have direction, will and clear vision but it's become very muddled. Recent changes have been for the worse) 2. Lots of new middle manager hires, not sure how many of them are necessary 3. Very homogenous company (Have even met women in the company who think women cannot program well and the best way for women to get into software firms is through soft skill positions) 4. No emphasis on building a good Engineering Culture (good available talent being wasted to a certain extent) 5. Career progression can be quite difficult. Impression seems to matter more than actual work delivered 6. Salaries are much lower than industry standards
