      DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS JOB

      Pros

      The culture is really good, the people are amazing and really make the company what it is.

      Cons

      If you're looking for a 5-month contract then this is the job for you, They let nearly all their sales reps go after 'probation' giving no warnings beforehand, this is after giving you unrealistic targets that not even the managers think is achievable. They are very behind with processes, which is understandable for a start-up but they don't listen to the employees who are actually doing the work. They lie to you in the interview about 'everyone' reaching and achieving their targets which really doesn't happen. Their salary really isn't aligned with other SDR/BDR roles around Dublin even with the OTE, which if you're not hitting target doesn't happen. They tell you there is room for growth but will only promote you if they need to fill a space and not because you actually worked for it.

      Roleplaying 'leaders'. Ship is half-built, sinking, and burning in the harbor.

      Pros

      Low accountability. Seltzers and coffee at the office.

      Cons

      Uninspiring leadership, corporate bloat, and a culture of inaction and aversion to learning. Product managers and engineering managers micromanaging implementation details. Engineering standards are all over the place. No unified architecture, no cohesive vision. E.g., half of the "principal" engs want microservices, the other half want a monolith. The platform team is abrasive and snarky while lacking real experience in their technology. Infrastructure and tooling are awful. RTO, but "site leads" come to the office once every other month. We had a gnat infestation last for months, despite constant escalations to the site lead. I had experiences where I could not finish a single sentence without being interrupted by the org director, and almost every single concern or idea I brought up was dismissed or shut down. When the forewarned issues arrived, the IC is written as the one who did not deliver the commitments.

      Pros

      Some nice people to work with Nice culture locally in offices If a decision is made you can work on nice problems

      Cons

      Your experience can heavily vary depending on teams, Some work on new apps and have a lot of room for impact but it may not be enough for a promotion Others can be given impossible targets to even have a chance at a being put up for a promotion
