1. Looks good on the CV 2. Sound executive corporate management 3. well considered strategic leadership

Cons

1. Unwilling to promote 2. Heavy with under-qualified middle management (legacy of a tight celtic tiger employment market and restrictive Irish labour practices) 3. Non-US offices considered to be 'work-houses', with little attention given to recognising talent.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.
