Pros

Very Relaxed Culture in Ireland Lots of opportunities to move around and forge your own Career path Get to work with lots of cool tech - on and off cars Free Professional Driver training Fantastic Work life balance Loads of out of work social activities Young Workforce No Hierarchical structure in Shannon If you're willing to take initiative you will be rewarded Can move up through the ranks very quickly - Dev's getting promotion to Senior levels and upwards after only 1-2 years in the company

Cons

Ireland site is having some growing pains, needs more structure - Startup culture Management can be quite reactive as opposed to proactive and strategic. Switching teams on a whim. Technical Leads are not good People managers

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
