Digital Sales in Dublin is run by beancounters for beancounters. Onboarding is garbage, you get bombarded with meetings, corporate buzzwords (good luck navigating those if you're technical and have no previous sales experience), resources are scattered all over the place with multitude of Sharepoints/PowerBIs that are insanely slow/broken and hard to navigate, lots of outdated/lacking resources to compete with competitors, your buddy won't help you with anything. Technical people here are second class citizens - in theory hired to do presales, in reality relegated to do support cases and random technical/licensing questions, paid the least and expected to handle a broad scope of knowledge. Management consists of small clique of "unsinkable" characters who rotate management positions, with little knowledge of what's going on "in the trenches" and technical knowledge. None of workers complains (cost of living crisis in Ireland, awful housing situation, no raises despite record high inflation) are addressed - all we get are canned responses. "Do more with less" - that's their motto - it has been taken to absurd level. Central and Eastern Europe has been integrated into mostly Arab organization with utmost love for micromanagement, Excel spreadsheets and pointless admin work that takes time away from skilling/customer time. Due to lack of manpower many of my peers are stretched thin covering multiple countries while their single, mediocre salary doesn't reflect countless hours and work they frequently need to do outside of business hours, non-existent work life balance and insane pressure. I regret accepting job here - I believe I was mislead with "technical" label - there's nothing technical about this job. Just like Gandalf said in "The Fellowship of the Ring" - "Fly you fools" I hope my mistake can be a lesson for someone else - there are much better companies - be it in Dublin or anywhere else where you'll be respected and well-paid.
