Pros

Good hardware, nice colleagues, some very interesting projects with high impact.

Cons

Management is a lot of politics and to go up the ladder you have to be a politic within your high ranks. The salaries should go up for some levels as the cost of living increased a lot in Dublin Ireland.

Pros

I've been here about a month. It's pretty good so far. The salary & comp seems to be the same at comparable places like google. Employees work hard, which is a good thing.

Cons

Hard to contribute to a project without experience in the group you are in. Some process or documentation could help. Also, a project larger than bug-fixes would be nice, but maybe I just need to wait for something interesting.
