Would not want my worst enemy to work here
Pros: 1. If you don't have a degree or if you have a criminal record, this is the place for you. They will hire you.
2. You can do nothing at all for your entire 'career' and still get paid. Nobody cares what you do. Performance is not acknowledged so you might as well do nothing.
3. You cannot get fired. Even if you commit a crime in public, even if you never hit your targets, no matter what you do, you will not get fired. Simply because nobody cares what you do or who you are.
Cons: 1. Management has all the power and will go to incredible lengths to destroy the whole organization.
2. Long, cumbersome processes for literally everything. Getting my P45 form took 4 months.
3. 90% of the employees have been there less than 1 year. They cannot retain employees because it is a horrible, depressing place.
The 10% who are there more than 1 year either have no degree, a criminal record, or are too old to be employed anywhere else.
4. Food is disgusting and crazy expensive. 3 euro for a coffee, 8 euro for lunch.
5. It's in the middle of nowhere (Mulhuddart) and you have to pay 7 euro a day for the shuttlebus.
6. No health insurance, no benefits, no stock plan, absolutely zero benefits.
7. Would not even want my worst enemy to work here. The IBM Digital Sales Centre in Dublin is worse than death.
