Irish Water Employee Reviews

Great company to work for.Good work life balance.Corporate values are important to leadership team - management 'walk the talk'.(I was on a fixed term contract but would go back if I was offered a permanent role).

Pros

Training and development opportunities, Remote working a day or two a week if your role permits (before COVID made that concept 'a thing!'

Cons

Can't think of a single con!

Okay for Interns

IT Intern (Former Employee) - Dublin - 18 March 2020

Very relaxed, so much so you have to be very proactive to get some good experience otherwise you will be left alone all the time. It might have been because it was initiating stage so there was not enough time for interns as everyone was super busy with the integration period.

No loyalty there

Employee (Former Employee) - Dublin - 26 March 2018

Overall it's a nice place to work in, but IW is not doing anything to develop the loyalty of its employees. Combined with a lack of transparency and questionable management (that is completely disconnected from the employees), good elements tend not to stay too long.

Pros

Working in the water industry

Cons

Management

It was the best place to learn new skills

Software User Acceptance Tester (Former Employee) - Dublin, Ireland - 19 March 2015

My working experience with Irish water was relatively productive to my career. The typical day at work was starting with integration testing systems to ensure all servers talk to each other and to test a desire set of module advice by the test manager.Then later carry on with the regression testing. I co-ordinate with my colleges if any major defect found and notify it to the test manager and escalate it to the development team on the managers go. All over, the time worked in Irish water was unforgettable learning experience.
