Pros

They had a fruit box delivered to the Kwinana office once a month to share between 90 odd white collar staff, I would have said the free coffee, but due to the company removing the machines from use due to cost, I can no longer say it was a perk (pun intended)

Cons

Mislead by recruitment officers/advisors about works awarded and expected duration of current contracted works. The poorest and most toxic professional environment of any company I have ever worked in my 15 year career. No job security and evident lack of confidence from clients at consistent and reliable failures of the company on a daily basis that hits you like a brick once the novelty of securing the role fades and you realise the very big mistake you have made by entrusting your livelihood in a failing business, sold to you by the snake oil salespersons (recruitment department who must be getting paid a fortune to sell their souls) as a thriving and well trusted company among many significant blue chip mining and energy clients. Poor treatment of staff at every level, especially including the treatment and support of blue collar 457 VISA and Work Visa Holder's that have moved entire families half way around the world to be mislead, ill treated, and owed large amounts of re-imbursement for significant costs incurred that were not delivered to families in agreed timeframes, creating undue stress and hardship. Consistently changing senior leadership at every level creates a painful and never ending period of significant "CHANGE" with no results or rectification of major failures and the resulting insecurity of not knowing if the doors will open the next day, matched with seeing good people leave as they realise the landscape and lack of true support from the very top of the business that they have inherited.
