Pros

OTE is good, but very few over achieve and the ones that do have a hold out on every good account and then you're always compared to them and made feel like a loser when you dont hit your number.

Cons

What was once a great place to work has been completely ruined by leadership creating a toxic work culture. Your day will consist of being forced to come into one of the worst offices in tech, treated like children and then have to listen to the absolute garbage that comes from leadership. Every IC on the floor has lost faith in them and its now become us Vs them mentality, nobody has a good word to say about them which is a first for many of us. Its as if they've read a "dummies guide to manage sales people" and then completely forgotten everything in it and now they just shout buzz words. You go to them with a problem and they just create more problems, they dont have your back and they dont have a clue how to sell. Dublin is a small place and if you do any research you'll quickly find out that they are so out of their depth in terms of capabilities and its so evident in every meeting, most of them time your bitting your tongue in 1:1's or the calls they come onto because its just car crash tv. The only positive is that everyone feels the same and your lunch's are spent having a good laugh at how abysmal they are their jobs and the stuff that comes out of their mouths, they dont even know what the product does which is embarrassing.

Pros

Great salary, I work on a team that has excellent balance. I get recognized when I do good work.

Cons

Company has a big focus on AI, but not sure we’re all marching in the same direction and often doesn’t feel like a good use of resources.

Pros

* Remote-first culture with flexibility. * Competitive market-rate compensation.

Cons

* **Too many layers of management.** There are excessive management layers that often create bottlenecks and encourage micromanagement instead of empowering employees to better serve customers and build great products. * **Lack of investment in IC.** Many teams remain understaffed, resulting in consistently high workloads. Burnout is common, and employees are frequently expected to take on responsibilities well beyond their role and pay band without recognition. * **"Flexible PTO" doesn't feel truly flexible.** While the company advertises flexible PTO, in practice there appears to be an informal limit/fake. Taking around three weeks or more of PTO can draw leadership attention, and it can feel like using the benefit may negatively affect performance reviews, even when work expectations are met. This discourages employees from taking the time off they need to recharge.
