Pros

Very few if you live anywhere other than Athlone.

Cons

Hybrid work policy . underhanded practices, reviewing your hybrid exemption behind your back and confirmed from management that no one will have on in the new year. Work is slow, you won't be always learning and growing unless you find some way outside of work. Line managers and upper management do not care about you or your growth. There is no fostering a good culture here, just throw buzzwords about.
