Three Continents, One Team

Although Cora has always operated with some remote team members the company went fully remote when the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic took hold.

Our adaption to remote working was swift and delivered many benefits to all team members.

This clip outlines some of those benefits along with details of the initiatives which help keep us connected.

In February 2021 Cora won the “Embedding a Culture of Workplace Wellbeing” Award (SME category) at the prestigious CIPD Ireland HR awards.

Office Locations

Headquarters

Our headquarters are based in Carrick-on-Shannon, one of Ireland’s most picturesque towns, which straddles the River Shannon in County Leitrim. Leitrim is a stunningly beautiful county with numerous hidden gems and lesser-traveled countryside. Take a look at leitrimtourism.com for details of its unique natural beauty and see thedock.ie for a flavor of cultural activities. The town has an unrivalled reputation for traditional music sessions in its local bars where internationally renowned players are known to drop in unannounced.

It is also an ideal jumping off point to take in some of the best attractions in the northwest of Ireland, including mountain biking along wonderful country trails, boating on the Shannon Erne Waterway, which is Europe’s longest inland navigable waterway, enjoying Tullaghan beach, the dramatic northwest coastline and the beautiful Glencar waterfall.

A huge advantage is our convenient location, which is less than a two-hour drive from Dublin Airport and an hour from Knock Airport. There are good Train and Bus links to Dublin and Sligo.

UK Office

The Bedford office is a cornerstone of the Cora experience, as staff members regularly cross over from the UK office to our Irish headquarters and vice-versa. Bedford is an enchanting place to live and work. It’s a city with a rich history and bicycle friendly, and is well connected by road, rail and air so it’s easy to get to from anywhere. It’s got the advantage, too, that it’s close to London (It’s about an hour’s drive to the city), but far enough so that accommodation is reasonably priced.

The office itself is close to the city’s iconic bridge and located near the high street (so it’s ideally located for lunch-time shopping), but not on the busy high street.

US Office

Cora has established an office in San Jose, California to liaise with our growing client base in North America. Sane Jose is, of course, home to Silicon Valley, the world’s epicentre of tech innovation. It’s also a wonderful place to live and work, as it hugs the Pacific Ocean and is on the doorstep of the breathtaking Yosemite national wildlife park.

Nurturing the best talent

At Cora, we take enormous pride in the work we complete and the relationships we build with our clients.

We always strive to hire and grow the best talent in our area, and to invest in your future once you decide to join our family. It’s one of the four pillars to our company strategy.

Everyone at Cora is encouraged to bring their own flair to their role and to contribute at the highest level they possibly can. The wonderful thing is that it means you can really see your own stamp on the success of our company, which is personally very rewarding.

Grow Your Career

Because we operate at the cutting-edge of technologies we are constantly innovating and learning. Career development and training needs vary between individuals so we allocate a training budget to each person and will work with them on a personalized career development plan. We allow people to transfer between teams and are passionate about cross-functional teams working on innovation projects. Whether you are starting out in your career, would like to try your hand at mentoring, finish exams, or want to manage a team, we can actively support you in your career aims. We operate a two-week on-boarding program so that new recruits will hit the ground running. We allow people the time and space to learn our software and processes as we recognize that our technologies and methodologies require expertise. We have built up and are very mindful of keeping a company culture in which we all help each other. Recruitment for our business graduate training program commences each summer for an autumn start date with us. Recruitment for our software development graduate training program commences each winter for a spring start.

Club Cora

Club Cora is our after work-hours social club which runs some cool events such as games nights, go-karting, comedy nights, table quizzes as well as the annual Christmas Party and our memorable Summer BBQs.

Events are usually held once a quarter. We also host online events which help bring our remote teams closer together.

Benefits

You will be rewarded with a competitive salary, as we believe that salaries should not be lower just because the role is located outside of the country’s capital city. We have the added benefits of life insurance and pension. We encourage team events, run wellness initiatives and are committed to our local community and local charities. We recently had our local college complete a corporate social responsibility study on our company so that we can continually grow in this area. Opportunities to travel are available for those interested in seeing more of the world while also working to deliver for our clients.

An Award Winning Team

Cora takes great pride in our business results, and we’ve enjoyed remarkable success over the last couple of years on the awards circuit, winning several prizes for the innovation of our product, some imaginative collaboration with our clients and as a result of the strength of our company.

In February 2021 Cora was named as the recipient of the “Embedding a Culture of Workplace Wellbeing” Award (SME category) at this year’s prestigious CIPD Ireland HR awards. Find out more here.

Diversity

The Cora diversity policy is built into our recruitment process and our workplace practices in an effort to increase our diversity, age and gender balance, mix of nationalities, employment of those with disabilities, and to check that we are growing our skillset as a company with people of various background, skills, hobbies and interests. At the moment, for example, 36% of our staff is female.

Our Behaviours

Here at Cora Systems, we have a dynamic and driven team who have a passion for client success. Our behaviours are what helps us to deliver the highest quality products and services and sets a standard for how we interact with our clients, colleagues and other stakeholders.
