Corey and his team are doing a great job. This can be viewed from financial results and how they try to expand the product portfolio. They improved employee benefits, showing that they care about their people.

There are some good engineers and good people that you can especially have a "real conversation" with and learn from. But only a couple...

Site reliability engineering team is brilliant. They have a good team cohesion.

There is a frat culture in the Dublin office. Bros taking care of each other and deciding people’s fates behind closed doors. There is too much gossip going on. You have to prove yourself to certain people, not through your work, but... I do not know what their criteria are. If you are not liked – for some reason – then there goes the workplace bullying.

Management in the office seems to be powerless about it. Or maybe indifferent; accepted the situation; even supportive in cases. Promotions suggest this.

HQ is trying to implement its own cultural values, which are excellent, but there is a condescending attitude towards them within the Dublin office, as “too American” or “too corporate”; part of the frat outlook.

There is no feeling of purpose or goal, so that people can rally around it. What is the competition? What do customers want? These are not part of the daily conversation.

HR is in Belfast and they have no clue about what is going on. I am not sure if they are able to solve issues there.

There is too much politics going on in a small workplace.

Too much technical debt. There is the feeling of flogging a dead horse, constantly.
