Pros

you get access to play sports often.

Cons

1. unqualified managers from France & India who have been trained internally but lack the basic skill sets to do the job. This makes learning and working very difficult especially when your manager cannot understand what you are doing. 2. lack of experts and a lot of just of out college freshers in positions of power. They are immature and while they may have intelligence they lack skills and maturity on how to deal with people 3. French senior management who break labor laws and racist in their approach

Pros

You get to attend some social events, small monthly bonus, hybrid working but that's about it.

Cons

The company, especially in Ireland is an absolute scam and biggest joke. The management is not only unqualified but clueless. People in management think they know everything but really they all depend on chatGPT's and with that they make up these "team" lead positions also to micro manage everyone else!!! There are a lot of ignorant people in the finance team. Some, clearly cannot speak English because all you here is them speaking their own language (this includes French, Indian and Italian). There are managers who claim that they always work, yet they have this magic time for online shopping. Your goals and achievements are not taken into consideration. The company pushes the management for these pointless monthly meetings and guess what, managers don't care, like with everything else it's only a "tick the box". Some manager must clearly have personal issues because they cannot hold themselves professionally, calling people stupid, idiots etc... there is enough evidence of BULLYING in this workplace. Forget about a decent pay raise, you won't get more than 5% no matter how hard you work. Read other reviews, save yourself your mental health and dignity and keep going with your job search.
