      Pros

      Opportunities for advancement are plenty

      Cons

      Extremely high attrition due to shady business practices HR is neither human or resourceful Rampant micro managing Favoritism-- its not who you are, but who you know. Benefits were a joke The system used to rate employee performance was unfair, making it hard to consistantly meet goals. A lot of cloak and daggery going on within management, if they disliked you, then they find anyway they can to get you terminated. No fault attendance policy favors the employer, not the employee. This company brags about being customer centric, but they need to focus on being employee centric.

      Pros

      Good name to have on CV Scale,scale and scale - gigantic network with over 1mill servers smart people interview process - relevant questions, friendly and professional atmosphere role changes every 6-12 months - from coder to sysadmin to netadmin, etc...

      Cons

      low pay compared to rivals in Dublin (Google, MS, Facebook) ridiculously poor benefits - cheapest health cover and worst pension scheme one can get on the Irish market combined with 3x years salary in case of death... no work-life balance - 10-12 hour days are the norm, 24 hour on-call shifts on consecutive days are not rare either no parking spaces for employees overtime is not paid - time in lieu is dependent on manager revolving door - main theme: stay for 2 years then leave and join the better paying Internet giants in Dublin (Google, MS, Facebook). poor facilities - place looks like crammed call centre in a third world country Avoid the following teams: DevSupport, NetOps, TechOps
