Pros

Working with the latest technologies.

Lots of fundraising and community work.

Some very talented people.

Ample car parking.

Cons

Lack of career progression in recent years (common opinion shared by many).

Little or no budget for pay rises or promotions.

Work-life balance is not great.

Not using employees' skills adequately.

Located in an industrial business park, not easily accessible to Oranmore town centre without driving.

Lack of catering options in the immediate area - on-site canteen does its best with the resources it has.

Frequent redundancies at a company level.

Often feels like you get rewarded for implementing things quickly and buggy rather than slowly and correctly the first time.

Advice to Management

Career recognition is severely lacking.

It needs to be improved, or a lot of people will leave in the short to medium term.
