Pros

It used to be so tight knit, well managed and employees were so happy in Dublin, Ireland. The list of pros was endless - it’s hard to actually think of anything now except the kindness and support of the people still working who haven’t left since everything changed.

Cons

It’s absolutely soulless and not the same place since Firewood in Ireland were acquired by Media Monks and also since we began working remotely because of COVID. At least before the acquisition management still pushed a bit for some social engagement but it’s just so soul crushing now. We have been busier than ever, business is good but performance reviews, bonuses, salary increases and anything at all related to your employment or performance haven’t been touched since before September 2021. We were promised performance reviews constantly and we don’t get them. They even cancelled our small top performer voucher prizes recently without even replacing the initiative - it’s feeling like austerity measures at this stage.

Pros

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Cons

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

Pros

Benefits are good. - Health insurance, 401k, unlimited PTO

Cons

The main concern is the volatility of job security lately; there have been a lot of layoffs lately, and that means an increase in workload for those of us still left. Clients can either make the experience good or bad depending on how demanding and nitpicky they are. I'm currently on 5 accounts, but one client is making work unbearable.
