Pros

Fantastic company to work for. Great benefits. Great people. Competitive Salary. Fun and productive environment. They give you the freedom to be creative and come up with ideas. Work with the most innovative and cutting edge technologies on the cloud. Management really cares about the company and the employees.

Cons

It's the best company I've worked for, the only downside is they don't provide free parking and it's based in the city centre in Limerick. There are parking subsidies and free parking available at other sites.

The People; Everyone in the office is happy to support and help each other. It's a diverse office there is a great camaraderie amongst us. We have fun and we enjoy our work. WP Engine Platform; We have a brilliant product, selling a market leading DXP. Company Core Values: The core values are mentioned frequently and is the foundation of our company culture. Training: I travelled to Austin, Texas where the HQ is located for training. It was 2 weeks. It was a great experience and the training was really good. Career Progression: We are growing fast and career progression opportunities come up frequently as a result. Benefits: The benefits are amazing, Healthcare, Pension, Dental, we get to expense our lunch :) and there are stock options. Committed to giving back is one of the core values and our team ( I admit, I didn't do it but I was proud of the team that did) cycled from London to Amsterdam last year and in 2019 they cycled from London to Paris for charity. Amazing People!
