Vantaggi
Cant really think of any. Might look good on CV, people are nice at personal level etc.
Svantaggi
The Job: the worst experience I have ever had in my professional career. Managers constantly misrepresent the positions and tasks on job interviews. All those fancy position titles on the job description means nothing really. Junior Admins, Senior Admins, Supervisors, Account Managers do exactly the same: Administrator tasks. If you aim for a supervisor or account manager role, be prepared to do nothing more then what admins do (this is in Dublin AIS). The environment: (office) below average (Sir John Rogerson's Quay office), chairs, toilets are broken, PC monitors are like from the last century (except for some managers' monitors), canteen (buffet canteen only) depends on one's taste, most people find it low quality (eg a plastic saucer provided for drinking, no proper plastic cup for drinking). Salary: lower then market rate (around 10% lower), but cant be an issue if someone accepts it as long as the actual tasks are the same as what's on the job description and what was discussed on the interview. Future prospects: since everything is offshored I don't see many opportunities even though now PE funds are coming to the Dublin office. Contract roles: none were made permanent in my team.
