CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to start in terms of experience and learning about work environment and linguistic culture. You get to meet many nice people and very friendly environment

Cons

The salary and benefits are very poor. It is not enough for people to survive in Dublin. We don't get a clear overview on our performance even when working there for a long time and there are no good benefits for the employees

Pros

- I like my peers, they're funny and young (not Courtney)

Cons

where do i start.. - This job is remote, but you are forced to ONLY work from home. You can't even go two minutes down the street. As if we're working on some ultra private government content. Let me reiterate, YOU CANNOT WORK ANYWHERE OTHER THAN YOUR HOME. As if we are quarantined. - 30 minute unpaid lunch that you have to work off at the end of the day (as if we are minimum wage service workers not working a 9-5) - Extremely low pay, pay us like dogs - Leadership has a huge stick up their butts - You are basically on call all the time, they expect you to respond within 10 minutes of any message, and if you dont, you're in trouble
