Great place to work, and in Carlow too

Pros

I've been with the company 3 years and I'm very happy with it. Pay is competitive with Dublin, and includes full pension, life cover and full health cover for the family. The working environment is very good, air conditioned office, stand-sit desks with ergonomic chairs. All my equipment is top of the line. Fresh fruit twice a week and onsite gym. People are sound too. If you live near Carlow, no traffic to get to work!

Cons

Not too many, to be honest. Projects can be slow at times and are sometimes slowed down by politics. Sometimes it can be bureaucratic, but that's not evident in the Carlow office, more from the US side of things. I think that culture is dying off a bit though.

They're trying but aren't quite there yet

Pros

They have a really good benefits package right from the lower grades. Also there are some great drives on CSR, diversity & inclusion etc.

Cons

The base salary isn't great as they seem to top it up with benefits but that's not always what you want for your lifestyle. Morale at the moment is very low because of big changes that have been forced upon people recently.
