Pros

Could be good experience for the right candidate, depending on your level and which department you join.

Cons

Stuffy culture, hierarchical in practice. No help given for managers who clearly cannot manage several staff in different locations (usually through no fault of their own). Stressful for managers who need more staff in their departments, to find they need to manage them remotely. Some staff members away from HQ in Sydney are consistently on calls outside their time zones, with last minute meeting cancellations at 6am or 7am happening regularly. No consequences for managers who are arrogant and ego-driven towards subordinates, and create a toxic working environment (via calls, emails, senior managers talking about the other person(s) negatively to other members of the team/staff). Zero consequences when managers are consistently toxic towards several members of the same department. Despite escalation from several members of staff. Especially terrible to see a manager set many subordinates up for failure, using a geographically split team to create a culture of fear/anxiety. Amazing that HR don't seem to want to step in, or even engage in a feedback process. However, they are executing what senior management wants, I guess. Senior leadership are fully informed of said toxic behaviour, and choose to turn a blind eye. If you work here, you have to accept this. If you're outside the Sydney HQ, expect lack of information flow / communication. Decisions may be made without your input before you wake up in the morning. In my opinion, there is a blame culture and not enough help given to those in satellite offices, unless you really shout.

Pros

The company has talented individuals, and there are opportunities to gain exposure to different projects and responsibilities. There's good work-life balance, allowing employees to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal commitments.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is the high level of uncertainty within the organization. Priorities, processes, and structures frequently change, making it difficult to plan long-term or execute work efficiently. There have also been multiple internal changes and reorganizations, which can create confusion around roles, responsibilities, and strategic direction. Communication regarding these changes is not always clear or timely, leaving employees feeling disconnected from decision-making and unsure about future expectations. Additionally, there is micromanagement, which can limit autonomy and make it difficult for employees to feel trusted in their roles, especially during periods of ongoing change.
