Pros

The role could be interesting at times, helping members research family trees/DNA. In general most other staff members were very friendly - they hired well.

Cons

The role became very pressurised over the course of two years, pushing speed of calls/email replies, pushing sales, up selling etc. The focus originally was around customer service. Potential progression in the company was based on how fast you replied to emails as opposed to how many member issues you actually solved.

Pros

Working with fantastic people on a daily basis. The finance team in Dublin is collaborative, friendly and high performing. The leadership within the team are the best I've worked with - they give you autonomy to own your areas, are supportive, empathic and always willing to advice and assist in your growth. The company is constantly growing so new challenges are there for those who want to gain experience within financial control. Ability to work with a broad range of different teams rather than get silo'd in one areas e.g. HR, Marketing, Legal, FP&A. High margin, cash rich, subscription based model lends itself to great overall company culture.

Cons

None that I can think of.
