Pros

You get paid on time.

Cons

Strange set up where the CEO will put out long videos giving company updates on how good the company is performing against the competition etc. Then weeks later makes mass "redundancies" and scalebacks. Stripped back most forms of software, especially in the sales aspect (being a tech company that is meant to streamline processes you'd think they would see the value in using proven tech themselves) yet still increased targets and questioned why there was little morale. Little to no support to international offices. Would only hear from HQ around the time of share board meetings and that would only be a big push to try and drive sales up. Bit of knee jerk reactions. The product itself hasn't evolved since creation. There are companies doing this far better and at less expense.

Pros

The people seem nice. Lovely offices.

Cons

- There is a messy structure. - For a small business, management are disconnected from the day-to-day working of the business hence unaware of the underlying mess. - It was made clear to me the CEO changes priorities very quickly. It's difficult to harness your job fully & effectively. - Management need to do more training on respecting their people. - Moving goal posts instills an element of unease and instability. - It's a typical cut throat sales environment. More so given it's a small business. - They promote themselves to be bigger than what they actually are with a majority of the company located in Sydney. In reality they're quite small with family members working within key areas of the business.
