Pros

Have really great people who are passionate , professional and committed to the cause. Good offices in good locations, facilities, friendly staff (not upper management/directors).

Cons

Poor management culture with a show me the money attitude. No clear direction. Not an exciting industry to be part of. Paid well below what competitors would offer. Smoke and mirrors everywhere. Lots of egos in higher positions who are unable to make a logical and valid decision.

Lonsec Response

Feedback like this is important to hear. There have certainly been a lot of changes at Lonsec in the past 18 months starting with a new CEO and Executive team. These types of changes present challenges for some people and opportunities for others. We are now well on our way to reshaping Lonsec with some great new products to benefit our clients and we are bringing in more highly talented and committed people to help us reach our goals. We are continuing to grow as we add to our headcount and implement some great internal initiatives to mentor and coach staff to make the most of their time with us. We are incredibly proud of our Lonsec Alumni who go on to great careers in some amazing organisations. Many of whom have made a significant contribution to the organisation we are today.

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.
