      Dishonest management - Politics based company

      Senior software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      If you tried suicide but didn't succeed.

      Cons

      1) Joined the team in Galway leaving my home country in 2016. Team manager told me that all developers in the team were based in Galway. It was FALSE. Half of the team was working remotely from home all around europe. 2) I got a 1 year contract with the promise of a permanent contract as soon as somebody was leaving team. It was FALSE. 3 testers and 2 developers left the team and I never got a permanent contract. After other 2 developers left I became the owner of the application, even because remaining developers had connections in the company, didn't want to work and were literally destroying the application when doing bugfixing. Despite of this, rather than getting permanent, I got 1 year contract, then 1 year renewal, then 6 months renewal, then 6 months renewal, then 6 months renewal, then 3 months renewal. So I left. 3) Teams/countries are in competition against each other rathen than working togheter and a unique business strategy. 4) All of these is because this is a politics based company. 5) STAY AWAY FROM POS TEAM!

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Would recommend as a stepping stone for IT college graduates to gain work experience but not for any other professionals as nothing to gain of value.

      Cons

      Poorly paid. No career prospects. Stale management. Management lacking people skills. Incompetent HR department - dealt rather badly with employee redundancies and no empathy towards employees. Majority of employees lack any formal qualifications and no prospect of gaining any within this company.

      Pros

      Great work environment. Everyone is very nice, from the CEO to the secretary. The

      Cons

      There's no career plan, no performance reviews and no salary reviews. The HR is seen as something to avoid throughout the whole company. The obligation of clocking in/out for lunch could be avoided.
