Pros

Zilch pros. Literally none. I may have said the free canteen when I was working in the office was but that's gone now.

Cons

-poverty wages. -terrible organisation and I've had like 5 team leads in under 2 years. My current team lead us THE worst manager I've ever had. -micro management with use of system that flags if you leave your laptop for more than 8 minutes. -workload for some of the queues is completely unreasonable and too much, but don't bother telling management because they don't care and won't do anything. -they will find any excuse to deduct from your bonus and stuff in their own pockets. Swindlers. - very very little for PTO flexibility, They make you take 5-6 days each quarter instead of letting you take a bigger chunk over the summer. -they expect you to book your PTO 2-3 months in advance. - they got rid of most my team through redundancy about 6 weeks before they would have had to given out severance payments would have been mandatory... I'm sure this was just a coincidence... They have since started hiring for the same job they were getting rid of people for. I could honestly go on and on, I hope this is the worst company in Ireland because you'd really have to feel for anyone who's working for a worse company. A bunch of my ex colleagues are joining a union and making complaints to the WRC and I wish them the best.
