Stay away! Feels like a sinking ship!

Pros

The only pro of working here is pay.

Cons

Favouritism and nepotism are prevalent, creating an environment where it’s difficult to see a clear direction for the company. There’s a noticeable disparity between the treatment of leaders and individual contributors, and opportunities for career growth or development are lacking. Gaslighting is a common tactic used by leadership, making it challenging to trust their intentions or feel secure in your role. The lack of a social environment makes it hard to feel part of something meaningful, and the leadership often emphasises that we’re just colleagues, not family or friends—ultimately making it clear that you’re just a number here. Employees are usually left isolated in silos, and the leaders contribute to a toxic culture that further exacerbates these issues.

Pros

Excellent peer-support High Team-morale Competent people Friendly

Cons

6 independent lawyers unanimously said their Australian Offer Letter was the most illegal and legally unenforceable employment contract they had ever seen, across they're collective 150+ years of experience. Terrible 1/10 mgmt from one of my three managers, leading to resigning

Pros

Reasonable pay, extra benefit (although shrinking fast)

Cons

Churn and burn culture is very real. Work like crazy and you will never meet your target. OTE is just a dream. No team spirit. Your colleague is waiting for your departure so he can take the sales opportunities you worked on.
