Pros

* Great work hours, always get out at a good time...never expected to work late or weekends. We stay late the last couple of days of the month which is always great fun and high energy. * Highly talented and motivated workforce but also a great bunch of people to spend 40 hours a week with...and few more in the pub on a Friday! * The pay is great and there's a lot of the usual tech industry perks like free lunch, travel pass, healthcare & dental. * The Dublin office has the advantages of feeling like a small tech start that you can really make an impact on and progress your career but at the same time we have the beneift of being part of large publicily traded company that's No.1 in the U.S.

Cons

* Nothing comes to mind. Any issues I do have I raise it with management. They welcome feedback and take the necessary steps to resolve these issues where possible.
