Vantaggi

Strong industry presence in MedTech with high-quality production standards.

Svantaggi

The employee referral program lacks transparency and effectiveness. I've referred multiple qualified candidates for internal roles, but they were redirected to outsourcing agencies like ICE Recruitment, Hero and Gregg, often offered lower-level roles (e.g., Product Builder) or rejected due to visa type (e.g., Stamp 1G), even though they have full legal work rights. Referrals aren’t acknowledged, and there's no communication or feedback loop with the employee who made the referral. Internal progression opportunities feel limited, especially for non-Irish or non-EU employees. In some cases, foreign professionals remain in the same role for years, with few pathways to move into supervisory or technical leadership roles, despite having relevant qualifications or experience. Career development structures exist, but in practice, they don't feel equally accessible to all.

Vantaggi

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Svantaggi

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
