Fenergo Reviews

Pros

(This can vary depending on where you work) The conditions, ambient and people are great. Many social events. Great work/life balance with a lot of freedom. Courses and training provided. Promote initiatives to improve how things are done. A flat structure where your ideas count.

Cons

Not really good orchestration/coordination sometimes. Since it is client focus, almost no time is allocated to remove technical debt. Slow workflows. Too much configuration (xml). The flat structure has it's bad things, like watching people making an inefficient idea the norm without the rest of the people having a vote on that.

Pros

These do not exist here.

Cons

Lack of product vision, strategy and roadmap. Multiple org reshuffles with no benefits visible so far. No processes are followed for anything. Requirements come out of nowhere and constantly change. No bonuses or pay increase given despite the public news post that the revenue is doing great. JSON, lots and lots of JSON& XML. No desire to improve the product just keep it going. Anyone looking for a career in software development this is not the place for you.

Pros

The people are amazing There is a strong community feel from the top to the bottom You have the support to do interesting things Your work is important and appreciated Its a fast growing startup and soon to be Ireland's newest unicorn!

Cons

Benefits are weaker than the industry The workload is high, and timelines are tight Sales can be more important than "real" work You have to wear multiple hats and do what to company needs, not whats in your contract Im always tired these days.. the burnout is real

Pros

Work life balance is excellent. Can work from home as many as 2 times a week although this is completely dependent on your manager. The company stance is 1 day a week. People are friendly, onboarding of new staff is excellent. The best I've seen. Sports and Social club is quite good. Events are regular and varied. Again, depending on your job, travel can be frequent which is a plus. Comfortable place to work, zero micro management. Your left to do the job.

Cons

Management of the team is virtually non existent. No feedback whatsoever, in fact I've had 1 meaningful review in 18 months. The software itself isnt good. We deliver whatever the banks ask for even if it means pushing projects over the line too soon forgoing any sort of quality. This is a major issue in there. The company is growing rapidly but still has a small company mindset, will do anything for a cheque. This is known amongst all staff and even the CEO mentioned it at one of the quarterly reviews however nothing has changed.
