Pros

Main positives: Great offices, free beer and pizza the 1st Friday of every month, great coffee/sandwich bar right in the middle of the office, great people, great location, great social attitudes, flexible hours. Company is growing and has a very positive future... Most people are great (99%), of course you can never say all, they always hire people with likable personalities and they fit in really well. Great diversity from all over the world, you are always learning something new at lunchtime about another country and its culture.... You can't judge this company by all the reviews here, there are a lot of happy people working here who just have not left a review....this is not Trip Advisor....This company in my opinion is a great place to work, very googlesque....and NO I do not work for the HR department....There are 35 reviews here, all from the past 12 months only and I would say over 400 people have worked for ezetop in the last 8 years, there are currently over 210 people worldwide, so if its so bad why are there not more bad reviews...... IMO: To the people here with bad reviews: I think these are from disappointed personnel who have not really enjoyed their job or have felt underrated/under appreciated but some also may have been treated in the wrong way recently, which I can understand. There were people complaining about lack of training or career guidance or future career chances, how many companies really get that right all the time. How many jobs can you walk into and after a year get a promotion only unless someone leaves, that's life.....Training is available but....(see note under Cons) There were also complaints about high turn over in staff. This is a software technology company and Ireland has 45,000 empty IT jobs around the country....every software or technology company has a high turnover in Ireland right now, especially in the graduate sector, people come in do their time and move on and move up...that's life. If you do a fair days work, for a fair days pay, you will enjoy your time and be treated well at ezetop, like anywhere Bonuses are always fairly delivered and pay rises given when deserved.

Cons

However there was a very large training budget last year but it was not fully spent because the managers did not manage it properly, something that could be improved and is being addressed this year No major perks, i.e. health insurance, its only a very basic option, and no pension contribution, but not many companies do them anymore

Pros

I have recently been promoted and I have been empowered to really execute in my position. The management team is communicating very well with the employees, which makes it possible to get the job done.

Cons

It is not an environment for people who do not produce. Since the management team is so involved in the day to day they are completely in touch with the team.

Pros

I have been here over a year and I love working for ezetop. From day 1 ezetop go out of their way to make sure you feel like part of the team (introduced to everyone individually, given a welcome pack, assigned a buddy to help you out on your first few days and taken for lunch!) Staff feedback is always encouraged, welcomed and from what I can see taken on board. I wouldn’t ever hesitate to approach someone if I needed help with anything and that’s the general feeling around the office- people are happy to help you out if they can. The office is always busy, there are always new challenges coming your way and what I have learned here in the past year is invaluable. Management are very staff focused, taking interest in your progress and always quick to acknowledge both individual and team achievements. (ezetop also treat staff to a pizza and beer evening every month!) I find management are extremely fair and senior management are always available to meet with staff. The atmosphere in the office is always good and regardless of what’s going on a bit of fun and a laugh is never too far away!

Cons

I genuinely can't this of any negatives to add. I feel lucky to be working for a company such as ezetop- I have learned so much in such a short space of time.
