International project engineer

International Project Engineer • Former Employee

Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland

Pros: I enjoyed working there; the facilities were great. It was a great source of learning materials online. My team was in the office division, and everyone on the team was good people. Planning of sprints, reviewing, and sharing information all worked very well in our team. I may apply to work there again in the future, which says it all, really.

Cons: I don't have many cons. It's such a big company with so many teams and managers; it really depends how your team operates and if your manager is a nice guy or not. Some guys we had lunch with would tell stories of other teams who did not work well.
