Patreon

I'm based in Dublin. The office opened in February 2020 and there are currently only 20 of us, so it's small but fun. We'll be doubling in size in 2021, so it's a cool time to join and be part of the growth of a tech unicorn. Most of the engineering team is based in SF, but we are building the international payments product in Dublin, so the work is interesting.

There's lots of transparency and face-time with the leadership of the company. You get to hear all about how Patreon is performing, any issues, and how we are tackling them. There are still less than 300 employees globally, so it's not very hierarchical; you can Slack anyone in the company.

Benefits are good and getting better. The craic is great.

Most of the Dublin office started remotely, so it has been a bit hard to get to know people. However, our managers do a good job of keeping everyone connected. We have flexible working as a company, so I don't think everyone will ever be back in the office. You'd need to enjoy that aspect of work.

Also, it is a start-up atmosphere, which means lots of opportunities to do interesting work, but also a certain amount of chaos as stuff gets figured out.

Keep investing in Dublin and keep up the high level of transparency.
