Where to start. Sold a dream and it is a nightmare. Junior staff clean the office while favored, sorry I mean "senior" staff, go off in droves on courses abroad. Bullies for "management" who fire people on a whim and undermine everyone else they do not like: sad to see such insecurity. They say the company is growing but it is just yoyo dieting - binging on new hires and then losing/sacking good staff only to binge on new hires again. No clarity or structure or work progression as far as I can see. Tech bro culture that is alienating and immature, and smells of sexism. The got in some experienced exciting middle management only to fire them within weeks. Expected to hit ridiculous meaningless sales targets and the shady COO is not held to account for when these targets are not met. HR is a joke and pushes people to write positive reviews on here, and actively mis-sell roles. Also totally spineless, rather like the CEO. No sense behind people's job titles - seniority in this place only comes from sycophancy.
To sum up: it is a jumped up sales company that survives on fear, bullying, grayness, cowboys, throwing more people at a problem rather than sorting the problem (management). CEO and other founders were just lucky the company did well - right time/place etc. They're not a start up anymore but act like one. I really wish I had listened to the advice of others before coming here - I thought it would be good, but it is anything but and I am looking already. What's also weird about here is how trapped others feel - they self esteem has been so dented they think they cannot work anywhere else. Mind you, it is probably seen as an exciting place to work in Dublin as the city is a small place.
