Pros

Pay package for Cork region is pretty good.

Cons

Leadership spread fear as a result of sporadic cuts to individuals globally. No direction from them Or it's a case they say this is our new focus, attempt to drive momentum and encouragement only for them to do a complete 180 and waste valuable time, as a result of this lack of thought leaders within means the company is in constant disarray. Just toxic behaviors from the CCO and surrounding leadership is dragging the entire company downhill.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay was decent, promises of growth, share price to rise

Cons

The company appears to be under a cloud of toxic behaviours from all areas, seems to stem from a few of the C-Suite down to VP, Directors and managers worldwide. Friends have been hired in all levels, gossiping is frequent and as a result employees are all walking on eggshells otherwise they risk getting fired for "cost saving" purposes. If you have different veiws like on route to market than some of the legacy people then your pretty much done within 1yr. Large reduction of HC was done in Q1 23 and the feedback from those affected was just horrifying how they where treated after years of service.
