Pros

PR company doing a god job while promoting online the company on Glassdoor and Linkedin. Keep up the good work! ;-) New premises are cool and make employees feel somehow happy and motivated.

Cons

Dissatisfied workers in a toxic atmosphere - avoid if you value yourself. Internally very dysfunctional with significant morale issues that stem from a lack of focus, heavily embedded favoritism / politics, volatile operational deficiencies. Very little support for career growth for employees interested in metrics/performance based career advancement. Lack of trustfulness and listening to people. Definitely HR function is not there to help or assist the employee but to act as a puppet against them.

Hello again. It is sad that you continually feel the need to keep posting and then removing negative reviews. Only one ‘financial analyst’ has left us in the past 3+ years and we know he was very happy with the company; moving on as many of our people do to an excellent promotion elsewhere. So please stop pretending to have worked in departments where morale is not as you imply but is very high. We recognise our company was not to your suiting. My door remains open and you have my contact details if there is anything you would like to discuss without hiding behind the shroud of anonymity. We take genuine feedback very seriously and have a good track record of continuously improving the way we work. Sticking with facts, we are an independently accredited Great Place To Work where our employee engagement scores are very high and we are recognised as one of Ireland’s ‘Best Small Workplaces 2018’. The whole team is proud of this and we could not achieve it if our company was anything close to your description. It is worth reflecting that maybe your perception of the company was influenced by your personal unwillingness to embrace the same values as your colleagues; values which the team developed for themselves. There is nothing we can do about that but we do wish you good luck in your continuing search for a new role and hope you find an employer whose values are better aligned with your own.

Many thanks for your positive comments! With many nationalities we really are a culturally diverse organisation and we are also a young vibrant organisation with average age in the early 30's. There's an even more amazing buzz about the place since we moved to the new offices and if anyone is thinking of joining us then we encourage you to come and meet us, talk freely to our team and see our workplace. Judge for yourself - we are confident you will immediately see why we are accredited as one of Ireland's Best Workplaces 2018. Great place. Great team.

Pros

Culturally diverse (14+ nationalities in 1 small office) Products sold across 11 countries in Europe so truly international Owned by global successful parent companies (CNP and Santander) Management committed to openness and continuous improvement Transparency, fairness and openness are encouraged Independent and confidential external review latest results = 70%+ of employees said 'this is a great place to work'. Open and transparent which isn't for everyone - CEO publicly asked anyone who doesn't agree with the goals and aspirations of the team to leave! New state of the art offices in prime city centre location Great benefits Staff-run social and CSR activities with lots to do and enjoy Challenging work, strong history of promotions and growing people

Cons

It was a start up in 2011 and has evolved quickly. Now a fully fledged and professionally operated company with 4m+ customers so of course there have been teething issues and not everyone has been comfortable with the pace. The company values (which were designed by the employees) were not for everyone so those who don't align will stand out as the values have been built in to the recently redesigned performance development process. At times recruitment hasn't kept up with growth so work pressures have been high. On the other hand it has created an atmosphere where hard work and talent can thrive, be recognised and rewarded. Management are getting better at this too.
