Pros

* Interesting work a lot of the time * Some good coworkers

Cons

*The management approach is "get a load of uni grads in and hope they commit to a sunk cost fallacy" * Technical skills lacking from most staff * Management 'disincentivises' discussion of salary, mostly to bully people (raises are based on nepotism and only ok'd by the CEO - so if he knows you, great. if not...) * CEO is a Musk wannabe without the charisma and just as much technical skill * Can't progress outside Belfast office * Everything is a crisis and all of it avoidable if anyone in their jobs had any real skills or experience (most senior staff are 7+ years with the company and wouldn't last 5 mins anywhere else) * Got verbal abuse from management & clients like it's normal * Known incidents of discrimination & bullying * No managers have training or know how to manage people (it's just about giving 'titles' to the favorites) very toxic, glad I left

Pros

Good stepping stone for entry-level new graduates to gain valuable work experience. Great travel experience.

Cons

Leadership tends to be lacking. Poor direction on what the company’s actual goals are. No outlined structure on how to adequately move-up in the company. Bonuses and promotions tend to be given out based on ethnic backgrounds rather than actual production.
