Worst Development Plan and Pay

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

9-5 job if that's what you're looking for.

Cons

Software Engineers are underpaid here. The salary does not keep up with the rising prices in Athlone. I have been working here for almost 2 years. Neither had a career chat nor goal setting session. They just expect you to complete tasks in scrum. Mass hiring of Engineers from India, so they can keep them for at least 2 years. There's also not much to do in Athlone. Do not recommend moving there if you're by yourself as it can get lonely. Transportation to the office is not bad, clinics are always busy and there is no hospital nearby.

Pros

Solid and interesting technical work.

Cons

-No equity in the company. -Raises are very hard to come by. -Ericsson won’t even make an attempt to outpace inflation and adjust your salary. -Drastically underpay. -You will essentially be and feel like a contractor. -LZ is the most hands off, do nothing, manager. -No room for growth.
