Pros

Employees are very friendly and very skilled at what they do. There is a lot to be learned here but most useful knowledge is gathered from the skilled workforce already in place who have no problem in helping eachother out.

Cons

The place is an absolute circus. Management haven't a clue what they are at and are a complete waste of space. HR will promise you a very prosperous career here but the place is like a ghost town, there is no work there for the employees. 15 employees were let go in their limerick site last week. Some of those 15 employees let go gave up full time employment under the illusion from HR that Optel was going to be a "big company" that "other companies will look up to". However after 6 months they were kicked to the curb. My advice for anyone thinking of applying for a job here do yourself a favour and look elsewhere because this place will not last long with the way it is being run.

Pros

There is great sense of Teamwork with the Technical teams on the Production Floor. People will share their knowledge and help others without hesitation.

Cons

Most Of The local management have little to no idea of what exactly is built and shipped to customers.The majority of Team leads who think their Managers have zero experience in people management .They have an update meeting in the morning and then sit at their desks for the remainder of the day.If their is a quality issue the immediately look for a head to blame even though it's also their responsibility to ensure a quality project is built. The so called leaders would never support their immediate reports and are more focussed on how they are perceived by the bosses in Canada..HR don't want to know or hear from you once they have convinced you to join the company.

Pros

Team is outstanding, the people working there are great to work with on the human aspect, great benefits, salary was really good as well

Cons

horrible growth plan, sold way too much for what they could deliver on, lies to customers all the time and forbides employees from telling the truth, promised 37.5 hours per week but nobody can do this.
