Pros

- managers with personal approach - mostly spot-on in hiring people that will work well in the team - lots of 'team events' to loosen the mood, though this could be a Con for some (dinners, get-togethers, in-office games)

Cons

- corporate culture BS ('customer goodness', 'passion', personal development goals...) - large salary discrepancies for identical positions

Pros

Very good and happy work environment, management really cared about recruiting the right people and the right fit very competent and respectful and genuine Free breakfast, regular get together, very rewarding and caring and friendly...the environment just makes you input more and work harder freely very good colleagues very good managers and senior managers...just loved their humbleness It was really the place I could spend my life working in....I miss that place :´(

Cons

no clear career progression path HR administrator a bit incompetent QA analyst not up to the scratch, so spoiled the mood on review days Almost 600€ of last salary was cut because I had to leave on short notice....not nice! Unfortunately was based in Cork
