I have been working at nearmap full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- Some really smart people work here. There's a great opportunity to learn from them.
- Very high spec computers for engineers (although not sure if this is the case for other roles).
- The company is going through a phase of high headcount growth right now, and onboarding is topnotch (I started a few months ago).
- Colleagues are all friendly, and there is an atmosphere of collaboration as opposed to competitiveness.
- Good office location in Barangaroo. Modern office interior with standing desks etc.
- Well stocked kitchen (better than my kitchen at home). Easily can put together something for lunch each day without having to buy takeout.
- Relaxed office culture. Beers on Friday afternoon to finish off the week etc.
- Good work/life balance. People work hard then they go home.
- Extremely competitive remuneration.
Cons
None are apparent to me yet.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing (it seems to be working well). Try to maintain the company culture as the company expands. Strong culture comes from the top, so it's your responsibility to get it right.
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at nearmap (Sydney) in November 2017.
Interview
It was a very short interview process. It was just 2 days of interview. One of the easiest I ever had.
Although for some of my previous jobs, I was just offered the job and just had to take them. This was relatively easy by Australian standard. The standard is to go through 4 weeks of interview before receiving any offer.
I believe I don't have any regrets, and I am growing to be better in some ways in the company. The challenges are diverse. They are honest about what they think about you, so you immediately know what you should improve on.
