Pros
The company has changed a lot in the last couple of years and from my perspective there are very few pros left - big brand - flexible working
Cons
- no longer an executive team in Ireland - management operated remotely from the UK, dependant on manager you might be expected to travel monthly (not reciprocated by manager) to avail of quality conversations with manager - no knowledge of the Irish market by any of the management team in the uk yet they are dictating what should / shouldn't happen in Ireland - impossible to innovate in Ireland, if your idea is not known / used previously in the UK there is no chance it will be considered - autonomy has been removed from Ireland - poor quality staff promoted at high level vs good quality staff; this is based on politics and who you know - very poor advancement opportunities in Ireland - employee satisfaction initiatives and communication now seem to just be a tick in the box compared to a couple of years ago when these were genuine and it was felt that management cared about employees - a big divide in the office between the legacy product teams and the newer product teams; some bad feeling with a perception that newer team is receiving higher compensation than legacy product staff
