Positive Experience w/ Employer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Positive work environment, all staff including management both friendly and approachable. Good opportunities to move within the organisation.

Cons

Location is relatively far outside the city center (Dublin) with so-so public transport links. The company's tech stack will not leave you with many transferable skills - application is customized with Gosu and a custom front end editor. Can leave you somewhat pigeonholed as a result if this is your first job out of college.
