Pros

Working with innovative, passionate people

Cons

Leadership, especially director and executive positions, do not listen to anyone regardless of their experience or talent. The company spends way more time on race and diversity training then the actual product, and customer service and the way deadly incidents are handled suffers greatly because of this. The ironic part is, that I have never worked with such a diverse group of people in my entire life. It was great! So why the company spends so much time trying to be a social justice warrior is way beyond anything someone would expect. The bottom line is this: the company does not care at all about safety. Many people who worked there had wonderful ideas that could have truly changed the dynamics there, but the executive levels did not care to hear about it at all, they only care if they make money - not if they make money the right way.

Pros

Free, fresh, healthy meals and snacks the entire day. Dogs everywhere. Work from home allowed, but the office is so amazing that all the employees enjoy being there rather than home office. Great benefits. Great environment. Great opportunities and growth.

Cons

Compared to all the other companies, nothing at all.

Pros

- The office, the Fantastic colleagues, the absence of micro management (for now), absence of competition, the food

Cons

- A team structure completely exploded and that was submitted to multiple useless changes over the last 3 years due to a total absence of vision at the head. - The leads that were already there have no experience or clue about what should be done, or is urgent or is necessary on a day to day basis to help the specialists solve urgent and sometimes life threatening urgency (background of experience include PayPal, eBay, various CS centered cies...). The leadership is making an agenda that is not acting like a role model for the rest of the team (start at 10am and end at 4 or 5pm), they are jetlagged from the rest of the team, their day to day stress and reality. - Inexperience is also reflected by their incomplete capability to get rid of a backlog or triage queues or suggest urgent improvement of work flows and processes. - It is unclear if this incapacity is at least brought to the awareness of this leadership. If they are aware and are doing nothing, this is quite serious. - It appears that the team is on a state of depression. We have seriously the best people in this team, incredibly experienced, resourceful and leadership treat them like kids. Projects or tasks are given in an arbitrary manner. Politics are strong. Favoritism is king. If you want to progress you have to wave and smile. If you are criticizing, still in a constructive manner, you will be seen as a disrupter and you will be impacted negatively (career progress stopped) - Since almost a year a transformation/reorganization was planned. No clear communication, time-line, or update. The usual blur illustrated with cute images in internal newsletter. Lately, they decided to change the spirit animal of the team (very primary school) going from wolf to elephant. For the occasion we were invited to a pre-recorded meeting in which real people had elephant costumes (zoo style). They gave a useless coins with the face of an elephant on them. They spent money on that. All the agents did not see an increase in the salary for more than 2 years. Knowing the cost of living in Dublin, the absurd rents and underpaid agents are facing dramatic situations. The higher and intermediate management do not see it and the team is bleeding its workforce. We are spending our time to train people that we know will leave before their 6th month or first year. - It is unclear of the reorganization will change a thing, particularly when the Crisis Response Team will be merged in the new Community Support team (aka customer service erzatz). No new job specs defined and 60% will change... How? No new communication... Silence is disturbing
