Pros

The doers in this company are all knowledgeable, supporting, helpful, fantastic people. So if you do find yourself here, make friends with the doers, they’ll help you get through your days.

Cons

If senior management have actually attended your job interview, congratulations, it’s probably the first and last time you’ll ever speak to them. Unfortunately their platform is so convoluted you need to speak to them to figure out how to do your job or you’ll get fired. Welcome to being ghosted. This is unless, they need you outside of work hours to help fix another broken thing, so ALWAYS have your phone on you, on the weekend or Christmas, New Years Day, or whilst you’re on holidays. Actually no, if you take a holiday they already hate you. This thankless ‘start-up tech company’ is a baseline service that might have been good at one point, but now just forces staff to spend thousands of hours covering up the many, many holes in the product that could easily be fixed. Management have no idea what they actually want you to do, it changes daily. So if you enjoy no direction, no support, a toxic environment, constant mandatory overtime, never being promoted, and being expected to give up your whole life for no reward ever, this is the place for you.

Pros

Staff that genuinely care about the product and clients.

Cons

Lack of consultation with senior staff on operations of company. ‘Influential’ leadership introduced has heavily influenced poor morale, enforcing an iron fist approach, removing working flexibility, showing zero respect for staff. Multiple high performing staff resignations directly linked to new AU management.

Pros

- The company has talented developers and interesting projects. - Work setup and communication tools are convenient. - Timelines were generally reasonable, and workload was manageable. - Good pay and compensation

Cons

- Feedback and evaluation were inconsistent. My team lead openly admitted limited time to review my work, yet used old or minor feedback as justification for negative evaluations - Decisions made are pre-determined rather than recent discussions or context - Communication with leadership was one-sided - they expected transparency but rarely practiced it in return - Corporate politics if they don't like you - focuses on fault finding over growth where good work was overshadowed by nitpicking
