Teamwork Reviews

COVID-19 layoffs were bad people that were with company for many years were laid off while new staff were being hired 20 staff was laid off but 10+ have been hired after it was not about COVID as claimed it was just used as excuse it seem like loyalty to the company does not mean much. Salary is ok pretty average If you work remotely in more expensive country you could end up getting paid 2x what someone with the same job in ireland is paid which is very unfair on irish staff working in irish company Performance reviews not great and each must be approved by HR even though HR have no dealings with most staff so they could not be in a position to see if a performance review is fair but staff have received no official explanation for this your yearly salary review is based on performance review but this salary increase if you get one mostly does not even cover the increase cost of living if you want a good salary you better get while applying for job Some management decisions do not make sense we were told that company would not be making statement on the BLM protests because we do not get involved in politics statements but a pride banner is added to teamwork I do not see how you can support one but not the other A lot of focus is put on teamwork product so other products are often ignored, members of teamwork product team do not have much say into work except for management people No real career opportunities due to size of company It may seem from the problem above that I do not like teamwork, but i still love my job and love most people at my company. I think it is still a good place to work

Although i enjoyed the work itself and there were some great team players, in my experience there was a lot of internal politics that created a bit of friction and stress. Especially when it came to new ideas and collaboration both across products/features and sometimes within the product team and leadership. Some cliquey groups and personality clashes amongst team members meant at times there was a hostile atmosphere on some of the calls. This remained consistent and was one of the main reasons i left - felt like i didn't belong. Quite a few decisions from high level management were driving product decisions without much input or feedback from product team itself or research which made the job harder and less enjoyable - didnt feel my experience/talent/skill was fully being used or appreciated. It was also frustrating that other team members skills and talents weren't being fully recognised either and I feared they might leave. I didnt think there was a clear route for progression or career development, unless you were close with leadership, or they knew you personally.
