Pros

Good benefits and work life balance.

Cons

Worked on multiple failed software projects that were blatantly going to fail from the start. Management clueless about poor quality due to useless product management, zero UX and dinosaur architects/principles who need to retire or be given the boot in the next round of layoffs.

Pros

+ Work-life balance is great + Colleages generally great + Amenities at office are okay + Nice benefit for buying gadgets + Health care, pension contributions, etc. are good enough + Line management generally does a good job

Cons

- Irish office remains a satellite office, decision-making centralized in the States - Has had two major layoff rounds in a single year, moving towards becoming a "regular layoff" company - Economic outlook not great - Who gets laid off is decided based on politics, not on performance - Career growth potential is severely limited, especially outside the US - Belief in the C-suite is probably at an all-time low company-wide.

Pros

Wellness weekends across company, somewhat work - life balance

Cons

CEE directory is functioning gender based... if you are female employee don't waste your time or you will get gaslighted or bullied to leave. They have their own rules in this area.
