Pros

Unlimited PTO, good pay for half-technical roles, some really meaningful relationships were made here.

Cons

Management thinks you have to earn your spot by working "as much as we did". Not very supportive, was sat down by a upper leadership multiple times and told to cancel my weekend plans to work (not making this up!). The clientele you work with are very often toxic, you need very thick skin for this role. Outside of the professional services arm, the company's innovation is really limited to updating technology to support existing industry practices, rather than actually creating new technology standards for the market to adapt. The new blood in the company are being taught 2008 developing standards.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Went through four interviews and was ghosted. No follow up, no emails, no calls, nothing. I'm fine with not being a good fit but for an HR software company, your process leaves a lot to be desired

Pros

Friendly environment, good work-life balance, good benefits.

Cons

Career opportunities in Dublin office are very limited if you are not Irish and friend with the local management. Equal opportunities is claimed to be a core value for this company, but almost all the management seems to be local, despite a workforce composed at least at 50% by foreigners (usually having more experience and a better University degree). In addition to this, there is an increasing friction between US and Dublin sides over power and this is affecting the working environment. It is very hard to innovate and to bring in new ideas. Some new methodology is sponsored and officially adopted, but it often result in just a rebranding of old ways to work, without really adopting the key ideas behind these new approaches (agile, scrum, okrs). After years working there I have left with good memories, but without having learned any new skill I didn’t already mastered when I joined. Technology is proprietary and very limited and makes everything more complex to design and maintain.
