Pros

Strong industry presence in MedTech with high-quality production standards.

Cons

The employee referral program lacks transparency and effectiveness. I've referred multiple qualified candidates for internal roles, but they were redirected to outsourcing agencies like ICE Recruitment, Hero and Gregg, often offered lower-level roles (e.g., Product Builder) or rejected due to visa type (e.g., Stamp 1G), even though they have full legal work rights. Referrals aren’t acknowledged, and there's no communication or feedback loop with the employee who made the referral. Internal progression opportunities feel limited, especially for non-Irish or non-EU employees. In some cases, foreign professionals remain in the same role for years, with few pathways to move into supervisory or technical leadership roles, despite having relevant qualifications or experience. Career development structures exist, but in practice, they don't feel equally accessible to all.
