Pros

-okish salary if you survive to get a permanent contract.

Cons

-On contract, brace yourself to get fired any minute without warning. -incompetent management in Cork, they mainly don't care about the employees, you are just a number. -no career prospect available even if you deliver best performance ---> see incompetent management -guidelines are ridiculous, US fingers into European decisions how to operate the company. -too big and too cumbersome. Operates like a bureaucracy of a country. -they do not give a dime about their employees -statistics and number crunching is important, not the human side of the employee.

Pros

good healthcare (albeit expensive and goes up every year just enough to consume any raise you might have received), 401k, paid time off structure is average/decent (i.e. two weeks paid vacation per year, some paid holidays)

Cons

high stress, low compensation, poor management, no trust, very low annual raises, job expectations/requirements change more frequently than it is possible to keep track of, little room for advancement, politics. need i continue? i certainly can. must work most holidays even if it falls on your day off and usually told about it with very short notice and penalized if you're unable to work. shift changes every three months with no control of what you get. keep going? i could say more, but I think you get the point already. oh yeah, horrible work/life balance as you are expected to be completely "flexible" and totally rearrange your life at every whim of the company in the name of "change"- which would be more appropriately called "control".

Pros

It's a good thing to have on a resume, discounted products are nice, cafeteria has good food and if you are a good communicator it can be a place to move up the ladder

Cons

Overly political and back stabbing and people who only want to deal with "their" people. Legal department has a very structured environment with a closed door policy
