Pros

There used to be some good lads, also they spend alot on PR so they might look good on your CV even though in reality they are so tiny.

Cons

Only accept an offer from those people if you are looking for a short stint with no better pay somewhere else. They have recently changed their contract T&C so basically they can lay you off at any time of their choosing with no rights whatsoever. So even if they say it's a full time position, in reality you are contractor with very low day rate no matter how much time you spend with them, you will be always at their mercy if they decide to let you go. Their contract non compete and non solicitation make it difficult to join any other company in the IT industry in general after you either leave them or let go. So you would be also at their mercy even after you leave them. Bullying is the norm in this company, you will be bullied to do jobs that are totally not yours, so expect to do stuff that you didn't sign up for. They will be so nice to you till you leave your previous job and start with them, then it would be too late since they will use the reference as bargaining chip, which the longer you stay with them the more you will need it. They say they have offices around the globe. In reality it's just a guy working from their home at their home country. Most of their people are working this way outside of Ireland with no real offices even before WFH trend started. Check Linkedin if you don't believe me. They have recently acquired a company called greenfinch, which they have liquidated and kept only the key accounts and the people most aware of those accounts, those people's days are numbered. Which is not exactly the best morale boosting tactic. So expect lots of toxicity around. Top management egos are so inflamed and insecure to the extent they won't allow for any rising star to steal the spotlight even if it would benefit the company. Their egos are so inflamed to the extent they would pay good money in return for some bogus awards that only make them look good with no return on the company by any means. You might spend nights working on very critical projects then someone else will take the full credit for just showing up at the last minute to give you a pep talk when success is guaranteed and it is safe to do so, so they won't lose face. Then the best you can hope for is just to get the overtime worked as in liu vacation. The new contract T&C have some hilarious conditions, including giving consent for personal search and phone call monitoring even at home as long you are using company property. You are also expected to consent that they can move your personal data outside of EU, which is their work around GDPR. Don't expect any career growth during your stay in this company, you are there to be milked out of profit as much as possible with low pay as feasible and no return to you either in terms of training, promotion or even credit for your work.

Work-life balance is generally very good, providing peace of mind and a comfortable working environment. Salary is also processed on time, which adds to employee satisfaction.

Workload can sometimes be high depending on project timelines, and pressure increases during delivery phases. Project priorities can also shift frequently, requiring quick adaptation.
