Facebook named as the best tech firm to work for in Ireland

The company, which has grown its local base from just 30 people in 2009 to over 2,000 people currently, tops a list compiled by careers website Glassdoor based on reviews from current and former staff members.

Google and SAP round out the top five most recommended tech companies in Ireland with both receiving an 87 per cent rating from staff.

LinkedIn, VMware, Microsoft, Airbnb and Intel also feature in the list of popular Irish tech firms.

Facebook has continued to grow in Ireland in recent years. In the past 18 months the company began construction on a data center in Clonee, Co. Meath, opened an Oculus Research office in Cork, and announced that it will be expanding to a second building in Dublin.

In addition, WhatsApp, which was acquired by Facebook for $19 billion in February 2014, recently established a small team within its parent’s Dublin offices to support its customer service team.
