Pros

- A great place for anyone starting their career or looking to gain experience but at the cost of having a work/life balance. - Sports and social is good, some nice perks like free lunches and fitness classes too. - Benefits like pension and healthcare are good but not competitive. - Access to some great courses if you have the time time to avail of them due to long work hours.

Cons

Fenergo genuinely once was a great place to work and I had some great learning and development opportunities, but Fenergo today is nothing short of toxic. New C suite executives hired in 2022 really changed the culture dynamic for the worse with their inflated egos. Completely lacking in professionalism and have no respect for employees. The “People team” are completely unhelpful - don’t want to deal with you and redundancies were handled appallingly. I particularly question how some of them are in these roles with such a lack of basic people skills and empathy. No job security and complete lack of trust in management due to being told no more jobs would be cut then two more rounds of redundancies followed. Transparency and communication consistently raised as issues yet never addressed by management. Morale is at an all time low and the atmosphere in the office is abysmal - efforts to build up culture have been extremely poor and there is no sense of psychological safety among employees. Salaries and benefits well below industry standards. Salary reviews for 2023 were a mess. New ranking system created by HR given during performance reviews that didn’t align to peer and manager feedback that was given. Sales and whoever shouts the loudest are looked after as always. Some great courses available through UCD but no time to upskill due to working long, thankless hours and verging on burnout. Difficult to progress your career unless you bootlick the right people. There are some genuinely great and talented people working at Fenergo but there is such a dreadful atmosphere filtering from the top down. Like many others have said it feels like a sinking ship, which is sad as it really was once a great company to work for. If you have any respect for yourself avoid this place at all costs!

Pros

Alot of the people are great, but this would be the case in most companies.

Cons

Massive layoffs, despite repeated assurances to the contrary. There is no communication or transparency regarding business decisions, and promotions are secretive and based on factors other than merit. Little to no acknowledgement from senior management as to the hurt being felt lower down the food chain.

Pros

It started off great, thinking that the company has a lot to offer. The employees in general are great, very accommodating and work really hard. The offices are not bad. Seems collaborative at first.

Cons

I have seen unethical behaviour towards me as an employee and when I challenged senior management, I was told that its not illegal behaviour so they have nothing to worry about. Employees seem scared all the time of being laid off, hence sharing of information is rare. Environment is stressful and back-stabbing. Senior management are poor communicators and some are a little too experienced to be in a fintech unicorn that needs fresh ideas and new blood. At the top end, its the feel of a members only club. You have to be a certain way to fit in. DEI needs a lot of attention and consistent commitment. What you see is not what you get.
