Pros

They provide good pay. You get thrown into the deep and learn a lot! You get promoted quickly.

Cons

The management is bullying and provides empty promises to employees that want to leave so they make them stay. Meetings with senior management is a bad experience. Horrible attitude to subcontractors. Too much focus on the short term targets than long term growth. Undertake large projects that can’t deliver properly. HR have no clue of the business and they have no recruitment standards.

Pros

Competitive salary and a strong pension scheme. It is a great multicultural environment with manageable pressure for individual contributors. There are clear growth opportunities for those looking to build a long-term career, especially for those who prioritize internal networking, building strong personal rapport with leadership, and showing deep alignment with the local Irish corporate culture.

Cons

Some PMs can become overwhelmed, which affects communication and transparency across teams. The benefits package could be better, particularly regarding the lack of remote work flexibility for engineers. Additionally, there is a heavy emphasis on "time served" for leadership roles; while this rewards loyalty, management styles are often based on internal history rather than formal management training or academic backgrounds.
