      Good company to work for but crazy hours at quarter ends

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Shift system operates in Sandyford and you get 2 days off a month which is handy if you want to plan holidays. Also a lot of overtime so if money is your key motivator, you can earn good money on top of base agreed salary by working overtime, weekends, volunteering for bank holidays etc

      Cons

      The same can be a con for some as they find it hard to manage work life balance.

      Thank you very much for your review! We really appreciate you taking the time to review our company and your experience with us. In arvato Sandyford, we work with shifts and as you said we try to compensate this with days off and paid overtime.

      Arvato Finance is very skilled in creating the worst possible management team

      20 Jul 2014 - Content Reviewer in Dublin, Dublin

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best reason to work in Arvato Finance in East Point Business Park is you'll most likely be working in one of the teams which struggle to kill time, you normally finish your daily quota in two hours and then you can do what ever you want while pretending to work. Office culture: built on gossip and act cool for the ladies. Benefits: The free snacks membership with lynda.com are the only benefit I'm aware of. Personal growth: Don't even think about it.

      Cons

      Promotions: again, don't even think about it, you not allowed to apply for any position before six month employment and I only hear from people who's been working for arvato for 1 or 2 or 3 years its all about who you know.or who likes you. Time-off policy: you request time-off and you'll get it unless you team manager does not like you, in which case you'll not get most likely, but I have to say that most but not all team managers are the same. Work-life balance: the working shift is 9hrs and many departments have to work on weekends and other they get no Irish bank holidays at all (depend on the market).

      Pros

      Excellent Multi-cultural environment Diverse workforce Loads of room for improvement Career progression opportunities Wide variety of clients and interesting projects to get involved in. Extremely smart and capable people. Wonderful social scene.

      Cons

      If i am to be a real nitpick you can pick some cons like working hours for some of the arvato clients can be challenge for certain people but that is not the same for all clients and most of the clients offer great work-life balance and amazing opportunities.

      Pros

      Good team spirit. Poor management.

      Cons

      The job was copy and paste all day long... Not interesting at all Career Opportunity can take place only 6 months after you have integrated a service. The work/life balance is very poor. Not ready at all for the GPTW (Great Place To Work) achievement.

      Pros

      Good teammates, reasonable work life balance. Long hours were not particularly expected. Nice offices with good facilities, canteen, etc.

      Cons

      Quite repetitive, many teams were completely disengaged due to neglect and uncertainty over future job security as well as bonus payments.
