Advice to Management

Go get em!

Pros

Learning and development and promotion and sideways role movements plus amazing people and leaders in business

Cons

Internal teams if you are working in internal corporate services teams beware of politics y’all poppy syndrome and backstabbing

Advice to Management

Too many presumptions and not enough investigation of facts. Caught up in its own bubble

Pros

Great place to learn about how big projects and organisations work and how to get things done in a complex environment. Some really good lessons to be learned here, especially early on in your career. Has standard ways of doing things but plenty of flexibility - it's not an organisation that is dragged down by its own red tape (but often you'll have plenty of the customer's red tape and processes to deal with). Overall...

Cons

It has a focus on doing big projects with big organisations, so the nature of its customer base often means that a great many of its people (and probably you) will be working with the kinds of older technologies that its customers use and need help running, improving, expanding and upgrading. But often there are interesting things to be done among all of that. Although it's a technology company - that doesn't mean that...

Advice to Management

Focussing on big customers and scale comes with a risk of low diversity in terms of technology, methodology, and new ideas. You can do innovation hubs and workshops, and you can buy a few companies to try to buy some cool kids, but it may also be time to commit to selling some smaller work to non-traditional customers.

Pros

Great company to work with. In my department alone (Pricing), the technical skills that once can gain is impeccable.

Cons

I can't think of any cons at the moment.

Pros

Work with large, established global clients Mostly smart, enthusiastic people who join the company especially the grads - very high quality and intelligent Opportunity for interstate and international assignments with great exposure High performers get recognised Doing whatever it takes to ensure delivery is successful (great for the client, at the cost of its best employees)

Cons

Some projects have unrealistic timelines and poorly staffed resources - resulting in poor client satisfaction, overworked team members, no work life balance Implementing old, outdated technologies Lack of variety of work but given the illusion of “interesting work” (no idea who actually works on those?) Coerced to working over time and very late including weekends but not allowed to charge actual hours worked - May...

Advice to Management

Being truly human is more than just having training and a slogan and newsletter sent by HR but actually practising it with the people including having the guts to have honest conversation with clients.

Pros

Amazing people, amazing global network

Cons

Work hours are often long.

Pros

- Good work culture that continues to get better - Lots of [sometimes] interesting clients - Ability to move around

Cons

- Basic technology, even make AI/ML boring - Too many lies within and between teams and especially to clients - Absolutely terrible pay for the technical ability required for alot of roles. Your paid like a graduate consultant, but if your technical you do way more than any of the and should be paid for it.

Advice to Management

There appears to be a culture of compulsive lying, even when there doesn't need to be. Yes sometimes you have to delay for time, but alot of the time even when the client would understand lies are the default. its a bad culture to be in.

Pros

work from home, good environment and friendly staff

Cons

projects have poor quality, hired many offshore developers to save costs. not ideal place to work as developer
