Pros

Up to date with the latest innovations when it comes to business technologies. Good offices with all required amenities and more. Tend to hire people based on culture fit so they see some great people come through the doors.

Cons

All the right things are said however they are never acted upon. There are lots of great benefits in place on paper however they do not come into fruition. There is a lot of talk and not a lot of action from this company when it comes to its people. Selling the dream would be a good way of describing it or over promising and under delivering. As mentioned they tend to hire on cultural fits however this has led to under qualified people being in the senior leadership team and within management positions. They tend to promote too early because they want to keep everyone happy rather than because it is deserved or fitting to that employee. Management do not care for their people like they make out and the culture is extremely poor. Management are either oblivious to issues within the company, incompetent on how to deal with them or just genuinely don’t care about anything else than taking home their ridiculous salaries at the end of each fortnight as a lot of serious issues including workplace harassment and bullying gets swept under the rug.

Pros

- Some good colleagues. - Organise staff get-togethers. - A few great lower management.

Cons

- Senior management promotes/favors 'favorites' over quality/input/outcomes. - Inconsistent management paths. - Bullying sweeped under carpet. - Difficult to progress if you don't comply with this culture. - Whilst a diverse and inclusive gender workplace is advertised, this is not true, and this is further supported in lack of females in senior management.

Pros

I walked away from Shape having learned from incredible leaders on how to manage and deliver projects and how to work and engage with a variety of people. The Sydney GM, Commercial Managers, and Project Directors are all approachable, care about your career and give you their time (they listen). I still reflect on 'lessons learned' at SHAPE as I continue to progress in my career.

Cons

They are slow to pay bonuses on projects delivered to the outlined requirements. I didn't receive any bonus on two high-profile jobs that were delivered defect free, on time and financially sound.
