• Flexible working.

Working as a Solutions Architect in Dublin is very flexible overall. You are given a lot of freedom, however, you must show that you are delivering results.

• If you love working with new technologies/architectures, you will love this role.

• Career progression options are decent if you're trying to work your way up. The progression is based on what impact you have.

• You are given time to learn new technologies as part of your working week.

• Flexible working (at the moment). You can work a minimum of 1 day from the office, however, this can differ depending on what team you are on.

Workload can get intense. You can get overloaded with work if you're not careful. Structuring your time is important, as you are your own timekeeper.

Benefits are okayish. Definitely a lot of room for improvement, as other multinationals seem to get free lunches, wellness benefits, etc.

To get a large increase in salary is difficult. I have heard of people threatening to leave to get higher salaries.

Figure out a method to make internal promotions more attractive for employees who stay in the company. Less people will leave if you pay them appropriately after each promotion.
