Pros

1. Work-life balance 2. You can use your lunch break as you wish 3. Health insurance 4. Subsidized gym membership 5. Work from home scheme was launched. Not sure how it is implemented.

Cons

1. Below market value pay package. Their starting point is 29K for Dublin. It used to be 26K until March 2019!! + 10% bonus 2. Toxic work culture (harassment, objectification by men and racial bias) based on lack of accountability 3. No screening system for personality/behaviour. There are people in Dublin office with deep character flaws, narcissistic and sadistic personality disorders. A mental health disaster for others! 4. Incompetent and unethical HR and management practices 5. Dublin office is like a zoo. Disgraceful work space. Least to say indignant. 6. Complacent and uninspiring colleagues. 7. No career development path or investment in you unless you consider Data Analyst 1,2, Senior Data Analyst and Manager a career path. (Yes, free online courses which are already publicly available on web.) Data Analyst job in the market requires SQL, Python, modelling and etc skills. You do not learn nor require or acquire these skills at ICE) 8. You are disposable. The annual performance review means nothing, nor can you use your performance review to ask for a better raise than the standard annual raise of EUR 1000 they give you. Not recommended if you value your mental health. If you are absolutely desperate to build your CV and have an income until you find something better, go for it.

No real development opportunities

Pros

The people and the atmosphere

Cons

There's no real development opportunities, salaries are low, communication is terrible and they claim to be a flat structured where all senior management are open to feedback from anyone but in reality that's a million miles away from reality.

Business Outlook

Pros

Sponsorship (which is not provided anymore) 25d annual leave

Cons

Bad company culture. Toxic, workplace bully and hr&tl is doing nothing for help. 5days on site. Management level is snob.Low salary, no future. Small firm just bragging all around. No recommend at all. 4 Ppl(including me) left the company on the same day and we were just desperate to run away from there. And another person left in 3days after that. Imagine it
