Pros

Colleagues were really friendly and provided a great environment to work in. The overall culture was generally very good

Cons

Management who acquired Lonsec didn't have the experience to deal with a company 4 times the size of what they were controlling beforehand. Rather than taking advice from a team that propelled the company to a dominant market position they employed senior staff who were not experienced in the industry.

Much has changed since 2017 including our CEO and most of our Exec team. Of course that situation has also presented an amazing opportunity for three of our senior people to step into the top job in their business unit. They are now leading their way as they grow and develop their business areas with the backing of their teams.

Pros

Lonsec is Australian owned and managed. The focus on the end client and the role of research is the main highlight.

Cons

Access to resources is always more limited in a small company. Folks are required to muck in and do tasks that in other companies would be handed by a specialist resource or an admin person.
