Pros

Free gym, free lunch every 2 weeks, incredibly smart people in engineering

Cons

- Executive team are quite simply put bullies. They are usually seen berating engineering and giving them uninformed opinions and solutions to problems - There has been a 90% turnover of team leads in engineering and exec are gaslighting employees telling them that there isn't a retention problem at all hands meetings - executives in technical positions do not understand the complexity of what they are asking for and are constantly condescending towards employees when talking about the implementation of a solution - there is talk of creating a psychologically safe workplace while exec continue their old behaviour which make it an unsafe working environment - work has not slowed down in engineering over 9 months, and exec are constantly complaining that not enough is getting done. People are burning out. - if all you want to do is write code, this might be the place for you. There is otherwise no career development opportunities

Pros

Popcorn and Tim Tam's in kitchen.

Cons

Too much micro management especially from the Haymans This place is toxic. Was hired to work on a project and a certain product owner felt threatened. Ask the right questions and get zero answers. Was mandatory to be on site 5 days a week which is fine, however when you get dragged into a meeting at 5pm which finishes at 8pm, and you are expected to still rock up to work at 9am is a joke. People travel to cbd via trains. Product owners think they are a BA's with next to none BA experience. The CEO thinks he is god and has all the solutions and loves the attention. Nah. Will never work there again. Lochie the product owner is the worst. Fat and dumb.
