Cons
There is an HR reaction to a review published for Allianz Care (which is Allianz Partners, Dublin offices). In that reaction, HR is calling the review "divisive" because it is mentioning how employees are divided into two groups: foreigners and native Irish. While I don't agree with the language of the reviewer, I must agree with one thing; Yes, this company is split due to extremely poor ethos. Locals are often promoted based on their family/relationship ties to management. Everybody knows about it. I've spent almost eight years working for this company, and I am Irish too, but I don't look it by appearances, and it always counted. I strived towards perfection at work, and I gave the company my best. Still, anytime it came to promotion, somebody with ties to the management was promoted. HR always gave me a very general and inadequate explanation. Many of my colleagues who no longer work for this company were leaving either depressed (literally) or exhausted. When you have a family and must pay your bills "stuck" is what you will feel in this place — no fairness and very often no professionalism. There is only one thing I regret, and that is: For a long time I trusted the HR and my manager. I shouldn't have. I should have moved on with my carrier. I just did and so I am leaving a word here for those who are considering joining. It is not worth it. Oh wait, they just got the Unions in! Congratulations to HR on their success in managing human 'resources'.
