Pros

Benefits, trips, equipments, parties. The members of the team are collaborative and very nice, not the managers.

Cons

Rigid and not very skilled management where rudeness is key, humiliating tone used towards the team members as we were in the school, no mistakes are allowed, no effective communication, collaboration doesn’t exist. Unnecessary pressure on the onboarding process and adaptation. No empathy, no flexibility. No team culture and individualism is promoted by the manager in Dublin. Extremely vertical organisation of the Payroll team, excess of control from the senior management.

Pros

Great product, in-person office atmosphere is very good, great learning opportunity for someone newly stepping into first sales role from previous SDR position

Cons

Ran through sales account patches, below average base pay for role vs. rest of industry, can be a bit of a pressure cooker at times, high turnover
