Pros

In the recent past the leadership team has taken immense efforts to incorporate a lot of positive changes across the council development team to encourage the entire team and help them to grow with regards to their career progression. The company as a whole is also trying to adapt to various employee friendly terms from and trying to keep the business going as smoothly as possible in Covid-19 times. A lot of initiatives have been incorporated with regard to keeping the employee's engaged during these tough pandemic times . Never seen a company who is taking extra care to actually incorporate platforms for ''kids engagement'' for the working parents (employees).

Cons

Nothing I can see at the moment which will restrict an employee's growth here.

Pros

The top management is doing its best to incorporate all the demands that have been made recently by members of the CDA in Dublin. There's also a very admirable effort from the company to adapt and keep business going as smoothly as possible in Covid-19 times.

Cons

Not much on that end for now

Pros

- You go to work and you get paid at the end of the month. - Good location.

Cons

- Benefits (only health and dental insurance and occasional meals/breakfast). - Payment and Commissions: The job offer is a scam. They offer a basic salary plus minimum commissions of 10-15k but the truth is that you will have to overachieve the target (working extra hours or getting London projects) to be able to get that amount of bonus. - Different salaries depending on your native language (even though you don't specifically work for your market but globally). - Management: micromanagement who only treat you as a number and only cares about your performance. Management get rid of people quite easily in the first 6 probation months. Management usually gives you a the permanent contract if you get on well with him/them. If management don't like you, you are fired (even if you achieve targets, they will find an excuse). No transparency in targets, one to ones (they say A and then it is B). Pressure (management send emails, messages, schedule meetings with you just to talk about your performance and pressure you to do better (again, even if you are doing well and meeting goals). - Development: not at all. - Quite repetitive and boring job. They "sell" you the job as the most interesting and skilled role and they only hire smart people and once you are there you realize the easiness of it and get sick of it pretty quickly.
