Pros
- fair salary - nice colleagues, although almost everyone ended up losing motivation due to no meritocracy and opaque practices
Cons
Gofundme used to be a fairly meritocratic workplace with a great culture (even if with huge workloads). Unfortunately this is long over. There’s absolutely zero transparency on anything from promotions, salary discrepancies between the same position, to hiring decisions. It all boils down to being personal friends with upper management. This is a shared feeling within the whole RCPI and has completely killed any motivation, as extremely limited chances for advancement or lateral moves are left. Dublin is clearly seen as a satellite office. The communication and transparency with US is often lacking, leaving the Dub side pretty much out of the most interesting projects or developments (often they don’t even know these are going on until they’re announced). The benefits/perks keep being reduced and some have been limited to the point of seeming almost pointless. There’s been zero job security for a couple years now, with people in constant fear of being laid off. The company keeps running lean, with very understaffed departments which are expected to manage huge workloads with unrealistic expectations. So you’ll probably end up burnout, but even without career advancement. Sounds great, right?
