Pros

Friendly environment, nice and cosy building, good facilities on site (gym/canteen/bar), good training provided, chance to travel for work

Cons

Referral program and hiring process. Carrer progression, at least on Dublin site is mostly based on how you would relate to management then on your actual potentials and skills. Very poor management choices/ strategy for European markets. Too many internal reorganisations of teams/ department' structures (European markets) with no real positive or effective results. Very little focus on customer satisfaction in terms of giving the chance to customer service representatives to make customers happy (doing exceptions to rules, giving vouchers to spend on site). The way internal departments interact is really slow and inefficient. Compensation for expert agents is really low compared to other companies and demand on them is extremely high.

It is equivalent to winning the lottery for a dream job.

Cons

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
