Beware the Shiny Reviews: This Company Is Stuck in the Same Place It Was Five Years Back - Read old reviews
Prós
- One of the last companies still offering fully remote positions in Ireland.
Contras
- Despite frequent claims of market-based salary benchmarking, a quick look at Glassdoor reveals persistent pay gaps. Compensation never seems to align with industry standards. - Leadership and HR foster a cutthroat culture where collaboration takes a back seat to self-interest. Rather than supporting your growth, feedback is weaponized—what you share is often used against you. - Even when you consistently deliver strong results and positive reviews, management will highlight minor, sometimes irrelevant “areas for improvement” to justify withholding raises or promotions. They’re quietly reducing headcount through redundancy agreements and subtle pressure to resign, rather than open layoffs. - Skipping “optional” events can harm your promotion prospects. A closed-door atmosphere of gossip benefits long-time staff and punishes newcomers who don’t play along. - The company paints an overly rosy picture of its performance—don’t be fooled. Major team reductions (over 60% headcount cuts) have left remaining staff stretched to deliver the same workload with far fewer resources. - On the engineering side, the CTO is famously unreceptive to ideas and insists on micromanaging every detail, stifling innovation and team morale. - Once known for excellent work–life balance, but that’s no longer true.
