Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros

Sometimes just too many meetings.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
They get the work/life balance just right.
Cons
Projects can move slowly to see results.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great work life balance, compensation and culture The cons are recognised and the company is taking steps. I've noticed them already. Everyone is very open and friendly and everyone is listened to.
Cons
The XO language can throw people off and is different from other languages so that anyone will take a little while to get used to it.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Friendly environment, good work-life balance, good benefits.
Cons
Career opportunities in Dublin office are very limited if you are not Irish and friend with the local management. Equal opportunities is claimed to be a core value for this company, but almost all the management seems to be local, despite a workforce composed at least at 50% by foreigners (usually having more experience and a better University degree). In addition to this, there is an increasing friction between US and Dublin sides over power and this is affecting the working environment. It is very hard to innovate and to bring in new ideas. Some new methodology is sponsored and officially adopted, but it often result in just a rebranding of old ways to work, without really adopting the key ideas behind these new approaches (agile, scrum, okrs). After years working there I have left with good memories, but without having learned any new skill I didn’t already mastered when I joined. Technology is proprietary and very limited and makes everything more complex to design and maintain.

What did sound promising left after time a sour taste and crushed hopes up

You feel welcomed when you join. The on-boarding is top. The canteen and snacks are nice. Work life balance is encouraged as good as it can be.
Cons
There is a scary trend to promote faster and in priority local employees vs EU & International in many of your departments in Dublin HQ. This goes against your core values such as diversity and integrity. If you're friend and drinking buddy with your people leader or director you're likely to have their favors. They're not able to be fairly objective on the team members they're managing. Very often groups end up split between local on side and EU/International on the other.
