Pros

Interesting group of people and a happy atmosphere. Company does have a limited number of social events yearly which are quite good. Flexitime was not explicitly provided, but generally this company is flexible when it comes to time management.

Cons

The organization is flexible with employee time requests, but requires them to be flexible in return. Can be a frustrating place to be at times because the organisation is often poor at managing customers. Poor renumeration for out-of-hours and on-call work. Lack of procedures, information sharing and oversight sometimes leads to slapdash operation of existing customer sites. True of both the development and operations groups. Customers become annoyed.

Pros

Rock solid software. Engineering truly embraces the open source paradigm. You will be exposed to a large number of customers with a variety of software/hardware architectures. You will have the opportunity to work some of the brightest people in the industry.

Cons

With HQ based out in Dublin, Ireland communication with your counterparts is extremely challenging. The 8 hour time difference can make it almost impossible to get any decent amount of work done. Management does not believe in the appropriate balance of work and life. It is highly likely you will be working weekends to satisfy promises made by sales and project management to customers.
