Pros

Medical benefits and days off in August Products are mostly pretty good

Cons

Pay is below market. Executives reneged on remote first working policy with no explanation and no plan. Priorities are constantly shifting and unrealistic deadlines are enforced. Managers will grind their teams to dust and sacrifice quality in order to meet their unrealistic deadlines. Expect to be bullied by executives, managers, and even some team members. Expect management at all levels to make promises that they do not plan to keep.

Pros

None at the end of my time

Cons

I'll try to keep this short, the culture in the Dublin office was incredible: friendly, smart and engaged engineers and engineering management. However during my time there a new CPO Nico Popp joined and started to introduce a real "the grind never stops" culture that filtered down through mid management to my team and others. In a matter of weeks quotes about 8 hours of sleep being too much and "sleep faster" were dropped into company calls and completely soured me on the company, this was accompanied by changes to the oncall setup for engineers that involved 24/7 pages that you were expected to answer even if you were woken from your sleep for the 3rd time in one night. Management ignored any requests to revert this system I would avoid this company like the plague as long as this side of management are still there. I had liked the CEO but as he presumably hired and oversaw Nico's work, I have to assume he approved of these changes. No compensation level would be worth the hell of the last weeks in the company, but when I left I got a 20% pay bump so can only assume they are substandard.

Pros

Excellent facilities. Decent products. Good engineers.

Cons

Leadership. Leadership. Leadership. I was regularly disappointed with my direct manager, his manager, all the way up through the top of the company. Direction is always unclear. Goals are always ambiguous.
