Pros

Truly great group of people to work with, regardless of businesses. People know what they’re doing and helpful. Good insurance and good offices in Sydney and Melbourne. Free lunches every Wednesday.

Cons

Inflexible WFH policies. Need to be in office by 9:30am for working days, this is reviewed and monitored closely by management (as if there’s nothing better to do). No flexibility for in-office days (sometimes 4 days because of all-hands) Managers are really tired of having no say in salary reviews for teams and having to monitor office attendance. Lack of career growth as there is no planning / lack of promises. Minimal pay raises and no bonuses at all.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
