Great place to learn, poor place to develop
Pros: Amazing benefits, you will learn so much when you work there. You are dealing with things on a global level so you are working in a massive enoviornment. One of the best things I ever did was work there because I know I am the better for it. You will push yourself due to some great people around you and you will get better as an employee. If you want to succeed you can, but be prepared to do a lot of brown nosing. Your talen alone wont get you far, but that can be said for a lot of places
Cons: Unfortunately being based in Cork, there is a lot of nepotism as they have been in Cork for nearly 40 years. Friends of friends are hired and family members which you could hinder your development. If your face doesnt fit you wont go very far. I joined an expanding team and was so excited, but I had on average nearly managers a year as a result. So reviews were never with the same person and if you got on with one manager and didnt with another you would still be get a bad review. There is also a lot of plagerism and idea stealing by managers for them to succeed whilst you get a little bonus, they will have gotten shares for nearly €100,00. During product launches, be prepard to forget about your life. You will work 70 hours a week and you will work from home at the weekends. At some stage you will suffer from burnout.
