Pros

Some of the people who work here are very professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and care about the customer.

Cons

However, COSOL does not put people first. Nor do they put customers first. $$ is their number one priority and they will kick long-time employees or customers to the curb if they feel like they are not growing profit, or if they just don't understand how they grow profit. COSOL would rather lose all of their long-time employees and customers to sell a project they don't even have staff or project managers to fulfill. They race to hire new people who are new to the game and end up with prolonged milestones and delivery. Contracts are sold with ridiculous agreements that are not fulfilled and end up losing the company money in the long run - because they lose the staff with the knowledge and hire newbies who spout fluff but can't deliver.

Pros

Some of the greatest people I have ever worked with. Everyone has a customer first mentality and willing to help one another out in any circumstance.

Cons

Overall direction and leadership out of Global Headquarters in AUS is poor.

Pros

Work from home The colleagues you work with at the same level are genuinely great people

Cons

Where do I start? The company lacks any visible strategy—short or long term. Nepotism is rife, fairness is absent, and there is no genuine support to help employees succeed. When things inevitably go wrong due to this lack of support, employees are punished rather than helped. Leadership: The ELT shows no concern for staff below them. If you are not billable more than 95% of the time, you are treated as meaningless and disposable. Instead of providing opportunities to resolve challenges, they will simply cut you loose. Culture: Bullying is rampant and goes unaddressed. In fact, bullies are often rewarded with promotions, while those who speak up are punished. Morale is consistently undermined by this toxic environment. Structure & Management: The company nearly undergoes a “restructure” every six months, usually just reshuffling the same handful of managers. This constant churn creates confusion, with many employees not knowing exactly who they report to for long periods of time. Pay & Recognition: Salaries are below industry standards. Attempts to discuss pay reviews are dismissed with endless excuses, and meaningful recognition is non-existent. Feedback: When company-wide feedback is provided, management ignores the negative and instead tampers with the few positive aspects raised, further frustrating employees.
