Pros

Good cultural commission which happy hour comes early at 3pm on Fridays. Free coffee and snacks.

Cons

Employees who do all work do not get bonuses. Nobody works 37.5 hours a week, more like 50-55 hours a week with no overtime pay. It is required to be available after hours at night to work with counterparts in Australia. Seems there are no salary increases unless you change your job title. Management is only concerned about bottom line and not the growth or future of employees.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. There is typically flexibility.

Cons

Cogstate will terminate people who are performing very well, with no notice. They are known for doing this. Do not take a job here unless you are prepared to be let go without cause or warning, regardless of your performance. Despite their messaging, they do not have much regard for their employees. They do not consider who will pick up that person's work within their department when they are let go. Morale is low. People do not feel secure in their jobs, with good reason.
