Good first career step - poor progression
Pros
>Very friendly team, with decent social activities. >Regular contact with manager who exhibited a genuine interest in my development and training. >Flexible in terms of work from home, hours etc. >Nice office and convenient location
Cons
>Former company office in Dublin acquired by Analog Devices was never was able to break out of that 'legacy' mold, left a lasting feeling out disconnect and working on the periphery of the new company. >Management got away for years with severely underpaying talent probably a result of many being graduate hires, but years on, this seemed to persist with no end in sight and no effort from managers to work towards agreeable outcomes, personally faced gaslighting and fearmongering from a senior manger that informed me "I would not find a better job elsewhere" that pays a fairer salary. >Very high turnover left many feeling jaded that nothing was being done to retain hardworking and creative people, deserving of more recognition >Disorganised product development, with lack of clear planning and very easy to get siloed without any sense of where products are going or if there is even market for them. >(More personally) I felt I was learning 'more and more about less and less', bad upsilling and career fluidity.
