Pros

Fully remote. People in the Engineering sector at least tend to be nice enough in my experience. Tech stack is good on the surface (but there are many issues) Benefits in Ireland are decent, but not the best. Still, not bad.

Cons

As many reviews have mentioned, there have been layoffs multiple times during the past few years, so job safety is not assured. As a Software Engineer, the standards leave much to be desired. The TypeScript/Nodejs backend side feels like Java developers forced to code in TypeScript and it really shows. Engineers lack motivation and are content with sub-par standards, and any suggestions for improvement is shot down with little explanation or not followed due to the "fast paced environment" not allowing building a robust codebase or even decent automation. Lots of short sighted decisions from both Product (seemingly random initiatives) and Engineering (downright bad practices and rushing code/bad architecture/infrastructure just to get something in). Huge blame game culture where when something goes wrong (which it will due to the lack of standards), executives/upper managements are itching to determine "problematic people" rather than problematic implementations, which makes this a very unfun work environment. Just, seriously, don't get bamboozled like me and avoid this place. Even if the tech stack interests you, seek elsewhere - you will likely regress.

Pros

Real Career Growth: This isn’t a place where you’re stuck in one role forever. There is a genuine "promote from within" philosophy. It’s incredibly motivating to see so many current leaders who started in entry-level or mid-level positions. Retention Speaks Volumes: You’ll find a lot of "veterans" here with 4+ years of service, which is rare in tech/remote environments. People stay because they’re treated well. 100% Remote & Global: The flexibility is unmatched. You get to work with incredibly smart people from all over the world, which keeps perspectives fresh and the talent bar high. Non-Hierarchical Leadership: Unlike other companies with "ivory tower" leadership, the execs here are accessible. There’s a focus on doing great work rather than navigating complex political layers. Psychological Safety to Innovate: The culture is fast-paced but fun. We’re encouraged to experiment, fail fast, and find better ways to do things. If you have a solution that improves a process, leadership actually listens.

Cons

Not for the Passive: Because it’s fast-paced and experimental, you have to be comfortable with ambiguity. If you need a rigid, step-by-step manual for every task, the "experimentation" culture might feel overwhelming at first. Time Zone Tetris: Being global and 100% remote is a huge plus, but it does mean being mindful of meeting times across different continents.

Pros

- Fully remote work - Met some smart and ambitious people.

Cons

The person who hired me was laid off three months later and I took on their responsibilities. That's when I learned that the people who previously held that position were also very quickly laid off. Four months later, they laid me off. Two months after that, they laid off the person who laid me off. And one month after that, they laid of the person who laid that person off. At a certain point, even the least perceptive among us must realize that the problem is not with all the people who get laid off so quickly. It's an org that's rotten to the core.
