Pros

Great infrastructure for engineers. You can write code, test it, deploy it, and monitor it with great tools and low effort.

Work on real products. Other big tech companies with Dublin offices do unimportant projects or SRE work in Dublin. A lot of HubSpot's core product is built here, and Dublin is not treated as a satellite office.

Really smart co-workers and a good culture of teaching and learning.

Lots of team autonomy. The company sets high-level goals, and it's up to teams how they contribute.

Generally pretty low corporate BS.

Flexible for remote work, WFH, etc., as long as you are delivering.

Really inspiring engineering leaders and executives who listen and care.

Cons

It has grown very quickly. It feels less tightly knit than it used to.

Starting to lose the smaller company feel, with rules etc. increasing. Although a lot of effort is put into preventing this and keeping us nimble.

A lot is expected of you. Not necessarily in terms of hours worked, more so your skills and abilities and the effort you put in. It was hard when I started to get up to speed.
