Great place to work

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent benefits, staff are all friendly. Holidays at Christmas are company days so aren't taken out of your annual leave.

Cons

Majority of the engineering team is currently based in California so the meetings tend to be mainly towards the end of the Irish working day.
