Pros

Large campus in Dublin so lots of opportunities to move internally. Good current technologies.

Cons

Long commute from city centre. Salary raises don't keep pace with the market after you join. Feels a secure company (assuming you are a good productive employee). A bit mean with facilities etc. (zero facilities to exercise or even a place to go and stretch).

Pros

- better job stability than many other companies - excellent technical capability and technical career paths in Software Group - lots of opportunity for changing jobs within the same company - they look after you very well if you have personal misfortune (e.g. cancer, bereavement)

Cons

- direction appeared to be led more by bean counters and with an eye on stock price, than "being an excellent technology company" or satisfying clients - constant acquisition policy creates huge churn both within the company and for clients
