Pros

If you are looking for a position where nobody cares about what you do, this is the perfect position.

I have spent 30% of my time working on personal training projects. This is the only real positive that happened during my two years.

Even the training they force you to do is very poor quality in Dublin.

Cons

Ultra poor management. They don't invest at all in people in Dublin. It is a cost center, and they try to keep salaries as low as possible.

No HR, no career development plans, no clear compensation plan so they can pay you less every quarter. They try to offer SaaS with a great product but no strategy.

No advantages. You have to pay for everything, even coffee. The location is super far, in the middle of nowhere.

Even the retirement plan is bad. IBM takes back its participation if you leave before 2 years.

I don't recommend working for IBM in Dublin.

Advice to Management

Make it a better place. Show some respect to the people.
