Pros

A start-up company so you may have the chance to make a career but even if you have a good experience and CV depends on the managers to accept your application, sometimes no fair at all.

Cons

* Different salaries for same role, even if you have more experience than your colleagues they can get more money than you for the same position, I don't get why the company have this system. *The salary do not match with Ireland average salary if you have a QA position at least you should get a decent salary or the average wage in Ireland non less, As the QA position is not a entry level role ( if you come from a vendor as a reviewer or moderator you might be happy with the salary they will offer you but if you have a senior role or another role in your current company you might be not happy with the salary that the interviewer will offer you). * There is not salary adjustment after you became Senior in your role, at least everyone that is senior in the same Role should get the same amount of Money. For example If your colleague with same experience as you gets 38k and you get 30k and you did same interview, at least after you became a senior or after 1 year working in the role company should adjust the salary for everyone to gets the same amount in the same role. *The company is not a flexible they like the micromanagement style, they adopted a lot of the vendors style as most of the people on management came from vendors. They use an App to control what are you doing during the day and how many hours do you spend on your computer working. * Basic benefits as other small companies. * some videos are very gross and sad, after 9 hours in the office an using 8 hrs checking videos your brain gets burned. * not food or canteen offered currently.

Pros

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Cons

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
