Pros

Competitive salaries Great benefits - health care, gym, free breakfast, coffee, foosball, pool, table tennis, and best of all soft drinks on tap. One of the best locations in Dublin for transport. The company really has the employee at the core of their values. We take fun seriously is one of the core values and they stick to it.

Cons

Not many downsides to working here. Sometimes meetings can get in the way of doing real work but I guess that is the same for any large company. There is still some remnant traits - it works this way it has always worked this way and we don't want to change it. This however is thankfully rapidly disappearing.

Pros

Good overall compensation and benefits packages. You get lots of AOL t-shirts. Could be an opportunity to be a part of something big.

Cons

Lot of turnover in senior leadership has caused much inconsistency. Layoffs seem to happen constantly so the concept of job security does not exist. Seems to be big disconnect between the senior management and the rest of company (in many ways).
