Pros
There were a few nice people around the office but I heard most of them quit later on, especially in Sydney and Brisbane.
Cons
They will try to sell you on their marketing and aparently reformed culture, but look deeper and discover it's a facade masking an ugly truth. The problematic people are still there at the top. Belittling, ignorant, micromanaging, condescending, out of touch and outdated management. Subtly sexist and sometimes racist culture. Often Chinese staff are only put on Chinese client projects, and Indian staff get stuck doing documentation. Management clueless to basic multicultural manners, definitions, terms, and customs. All staff are overworked but staff born outside Australia are treated like flogged workhorses. Women dominate deisgn and men dominate architecture. Management have expressed backwards views towards LGBTQIA and other progressive issues. I heard that this made a number of staff feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. Low pay, no pathways for growth or mentorship. Outdated practices and strategy. Disorganised practice flying by the seat of its pants. Fired a number of incredible staff during covid. Many other left as a result. Management undercharging and over-promising deliverables to clients puts enormous pressure on already stretched teams. Teams are blamed for projects descending into chaos as a result. Overtime is constant, but never paid out as pay or leave. Don't waste your time. Managers have no concept of the processes or tools their teams use or their day to day activities (and they project plan as such which is detrimental to success). Projects are boring, repetitive, and lack creative flair or strong concept. Designer of B-grade retail centres and attitude to match.
