Pros

Some really good people, brilliant product

Cons

Too many cooks in the kitchen and only a couple of them with any sense of humor. All sales treated as 50 year old sellers, too technical, too much information and no structure

Worst onsite leadership ever experienced in the industry hands down.

Pros

Product was good shame the reginal leadership wasn't as good,

Cons

Second line leadership and hub leadership level has managed to churn an entire Hub out the door. Its a "whatever fits on the day" culture with the narrative constantly changing to facilitate one person who is overseeing operations in Dublin. A real shame as the right leadership could make a great mission in Dublin. If you are looking for career progression avoid this place at all costs its a dead end.
