Pros

Benefits, free food, gym, bright and friendly colleagues. Mostly respectful culture regardless of seniority. Good managers Flexibility around working schedule

Cons

Vps constantly changing entire division's focus, this can be exhausting and demoralising when you've worked so hard towards goals that suddenly become irrelevant or stale. Often you find out about these changes via rumours or side conversations. Takes experience to balance work/life balance with promotion goals. Very easy to get sucked into patterns of long hours.

Pros

Perks, salary, workplace, colleagues and future career opportunities. The work that you do is empowering and you are given a great deal of responsibility early in your career. Many opportunities to transfer internally especially to other offices/countries. The work that you do is challenging but also rewarding.

Cons

Limited career progression opportunities in some sales teams. Dublin office seen as 'support' while decisions and strategy happen in the 'local' offices. Path towards promotion can be difficult due to certain visibility requirements. Also, a manager who lacks authority or a certain amount of influence, or with whom you don't particularly get along very well can severely hinder your chances of success.
