Pros

+ Work-life balance is great + Colleages generally great + Amenities at office are okay + Nice benefit for buying gadgets + Health care, pension contributions, etc. are good enough + Line management generally does a good job

Cons

- Irish office remains a satellite office, decision-making centralized in the States - Has had two major layoff rounds in a single year, moving towards becoming a "regular layoff" company - Economic outlook not great - Who gets laid off is decided based on politics, not on performance - Career growth potential is severely limited, especially outside the US - Belief in the C-suite is probably at an all-time low company-wide.
