The people you work with everyday are some of the nicest you’ll get to work with. Office is in a convenient location.
Cons
Sadly the list of cons is a lot longer in the current climate at REA.
- The culture has taken a nosedive over the past few years from my point of view. Internal culture check-in survey results reveal this but management and human resources continue to bury it with what is working well instead of addressing the problems raised.
- Constant restructuring with employees asking “when” and not “if” they will be made redundant.
- Instability at the Executive LT level with 4 members of the ELT vacating the business in the last 12 months. This further drives more restructuring and even less security for employees.
- The company has seemingly become increasingly determined to offshore as many roles as possible to India and the Philippines, at the expense of losing employees with extensive knowledge of the business and its processes/products.
- Internal opportunities are becoming increasingly rare
