Pros

- Good work/life balance but can depend on team as people I know there work late into the evening and on some weekends - Nice canteen - Friendly people (again depends on team) - Good pension scheme

Cons

- Management pushing getting more done for less - More pressure - Terrible pay raises - No bonus/stock - Not great pay compared to other companies - Promotions are getting more difficult and strenuous to achieve - Forced return to office to ensure silent lay offs - Culture in general is much worse than 2-3 years ago - Location is not great too as due to RTO you need to live in Athlone which is suffering a housing shortage

Pros

Colleagues there are extremely hard working, and loyal to a fault. The benefits are not as good as they used to be, but still pretty good.

Cons

There is an extremely low rate of promotion within. The salary increases are embarrassing, and don't even come close to market value for employees with tenure. You have no choice but to leave for any kind of career advancement.
