Pros

Competitive salary and a strong pension scheme. It is a great multicultural environment with manageable pressure for individual contributors. There are clear growth opportunities for those looking to build a long-term career, especially for those who prioritize internal networking, building strong personal rapport with leadership, and showing deep alignment with the local Irish corporate culture.

Cons

Some PMs can become overwhelmed, which affects communication and transparency across teams. The benefits package could be better, particularly regarding the lack of remote work flexibility for engineers. Additionally, there is a heavy emphasis on "time served" for leadership roles; while this rewards loyalty, management styles are often based on internal history rather than formal management training or academic backgrounds.
