A sinking ship on it’s last legs…

Pros

People in Dub office, benefits, salary is ok.

Cons

Oh - where to start? Used to be an amazing company on a great mission, but has fallen apart over the last 2 and a half years or so. CONSTANT lay offs - did a mass layoff in March 2023 and have been constantly laying off people silently since. Most recent mass layoff in May 2025 and also now July 2025, with more expected to come over the next 12 months or so. Zero job security and majority of staff in Dub office are looking over their shoulder or looking for a way out. Morale in the company amongst staff is at rock bottom, but leadership think everything is fine and try and paper over the cracks with ‘Summer Fridays’. Summer party cancelled, bonuses cut, no essential travel. Leadership will blame some big client losses and the economic environment, but they don’t realise that the people on the ground are the ones who will get the ship back on track again. CEO and most of the execs around him are clueless and are constantly changing direction, strategy etc and will just blame others for their mistakes. If you’re thinking of joining here, I’d reconsider.

We deeply value the people who have helped build our organization, and we don’t take that dedication for granted, especially during times of uncertainty and change. We understand that recent transitions have had a real impact on our humans, and we’re committed to navigating this period with clarity and care.

Performative positivity

Pros

Some people still care (despite everything). Very stable business, secure job.

Cons

Much more bureaucratic than should be acceptable for a tech company in the 21 century. The dev process is myopic and boggled down by old bad decisions and politics. Incredibly slow internal decisions in engineering. No post-mortems or even acknowledgment of failure. Lip service is paid to "not being afraid to make mistakes," but in reality talking about failure is avoided like the plague. Everything is "celebrated," no lessons are learned. The culture of positivity looks attractive at first, but quickly wears out your patience. It's toxic, fake, and exhausting.

Pros

The mission presented externally is really good, recognizing employee contributions is important. As they say without the human its just work.

Cons

Peek behind the curtain and it is just not the same experience to actually work there. Senior leadership is a clique of who is in favor with the CEO or not. Toxic behaviors are tolerated by senior leaders with excuses made for bullying or incompetence. The culture is becoming a self-preservation one driven by fear.

Thank you for your feedback. As an organisation we are constantly evolving and there are many change programmes in flight right now to help us grow and be better! I would encourage you to connect with a leader or member of the HX team you feel comfortable with, to share details of things you referenced above. In the absence of this, it can be difficult to address. You can also share your views in more detail through our pulse surveys running monthly.
