Pros

Very nice in-person team when doing the training. The kids were great to work with.

Cons

The organisation is a mess. They seem to be trying to expand extremely rapidly and it shows. They led us onto believe we would be getting 10 hours at 25 an hour within a month or two. After 6 weeks we had done less than 10 hours total at half that rate. There was also a massive problem with the contract/payment. We weren't paid for the first month as it turned out their HR department had forgotten to process the new hires, of which their were over 20 of us.. It was an almighty effort to even figure out who was responsible for the missed payment as their HR person wouldn't respond to messages. Eventually I had to find accounts myself and highlight what had gone wrong (they had no idea what was going on until I brought it up and then wanted to differ my payment to the next month..) After the payment debacle, trying to figure out what was going on with the minimal hours was another odyssey. Everyone I messaged had no clue that there was any problem until I brought it up. Their boss then got very prickly with me when I started looking for answers. There are some nice people who work within the org, especially with the kids, but the actual organisation of the employees seemed to be in a complete mess. My understanding is that they are only a year in Ireland and their founders have immediately moved on to set up in Chicago this year. They seem to be taking the Silicon Valley saying "Move fast and break things" a little too literally..
