Pros

Wonderful people in the Belfast team, lovely managers, very chill atmosphere. Good autonomy in tech stack choice, flexibility in working hours. Pretty high base salary for Belfast at first.

Cons

C Suite has gone AI bonkers and has also started instigating arbitrary deadlines for huge legacy system deprecation initiatives. Mental health has tanked for many colleagues. DX is pretty lacklustre, and projects from business side constantly shift with what seems like a throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Except these are big enough initiatives so them being canned has created a bit of a meme expectation when handed a new one. Once in pay rises are pretty stingy. Not so great when all we hear is how much money the company is making.

Pros

Real Career Growth: This isn’t a place where you’re stuck in one role forever. There is a genuine "promote from within" philosophy. It’s incredibly motivating to see so many current leaders who started in entry-level or mid-level positions. Retention Speaks Volumes: You’ll find a lot of "veterans" here with 4+ years of service, which is rare in tech/remote environments. People stay because they’re treated well. 100% Remote & Global: The flexibility is unmatched. You get to work with incredibly smart people from all over the world, which keeps perspectives fresh and the talent bar high. Non-Hierarchical Leadership: Unlike other companies with "ivory tower" leadership, the execs here are accessible. There’s a focus on doing great work rather than navigating complex political layers. Psychological Safety to Innovate: The culture is fast-paced but fun. We’re encouraged to experiment, fail fast, and find better ways to do things. If you have a solution that improves a process, leadership actually listens.

Cons

Not for the Passive: Because it’s fast-paced and experimental, you have to be comfortable with ambiguity. If you need a rigid, step-by-step manual for every task, the "experimentation" culture might feel overwhelming at first. Time Zone Tetris: Being global and 100% remote is a huge plus, but it does mean being mindful of meeting times across different continents.

Pros

- Fully remote work - Met some smart and ambitious people.

Cons

The person who hired me was laid off three months later and I took on their responsibilities. That's when I learned that the people who previously held that position were also very quickly laid off. Four months later, they laid me off. Two months after that, they laid off the person who laid me off. And one month after that, they laid of the person who laid that person off. At a certain point, even the least perceptive among us must realize that the problem is not with all the people who get laid off so quickly. It's an org that's rotten to the core.
