Pros
They sponsor visas. Good space and free coffee in the canteen. Kind and friendly coworkers in general. Ok work-life balance. Benefits are average compared to the market.
Kontras
Salaries much below the market. Lack of challenge in the job. Too much time spent on bureaucracy and infrastructure problems. No career progression and working from home is discouraged. People are leaving in hordes with no replacement. High management says Dublin is part of a strategic plan but facts show otherwise, there's little investment and projects have been removed from the office. No infrastructure ownership (it's all in US) and there are changes in configurations and permissions all the time without notice, affecting international teams and blocking the development. Management is unrealistic, even though they know about these problems they expect teams to deliver as if nothing was happening. Huge storms over insignificant issues, which keeps teams locked in low value and boring tasks. Lack of transparency. People hired for one project realize on the 1st day that they're going to another totally unrelated project using different technologies, with no explanations given. Candidates are told that the company is fully Agile and has only greenfield projects, which is not true.
