Nice lunch options, but toxic Dublin environment drives turnover

Client services lead

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The lunch options are nice. The domain is an interesting one to develop yourself. The wfh option a few days a week was nice.

Cons

The toxic environment in the office is so off putting. Everyone is afraid to talk, no opportunity to build relationships- in fact its almost frowned upon. It's a shame as its down to one or two people, and due to hiring processes- there are groups of nationalities who stick together. Until the toxic environment is sorted- there will continue to be a revolving door when it comes to employees leaving. Would advise anyone thinking of joining to really consider whether that call centre setup is what you strive to do.
