Business Outlook

Pros

The company started in Ireland is based on low tax incentives. Laid back life. Traveling in Europe and US, good food at nice restaurants, and a lot of time in team building. In theory, need to give good replies on web interfaces and take phone calls. When you give bad answers and ignore calls, usually the customer goes away.

Cons

Low starting salary, about €28K. Payrise is poor. No KPIs. Hiring and career progression are dependent on good looks and race, not merit. Normal bonuses, Discretionary bonuses, and RSUs. But no transparency on how the boss decides. Bias and favoritism are deep-seated. Expect IPFs ( Internal Productivity Factor) where bonuses can be arbitrarily cut by the boss to advance his/her career in line with the company's quarterly operating cost targets. Quiet firing techniques are used. Sometimes expected to go to the USA for 2 - 3 weeks. Hard if you have a family. The company is focused on quarterly revenues and growth.
