Culture Runs Deep

Pros

The thing that stands out the most to me is the culture of the organisation. Never before have I worked for a company where a team of people are so aligned to the company values. Ask any one of the team, and they will be able to list all of Arowana's core values and characteristics, as it is ingrained into how we work. Personally, this has aligned positively for me, as it creates a want mindset, rather than a need to work mindset.

Cons

The work-life balance can sometimes be blurred, as some days there are long hours, and with being a truly global business, having late/early calls with other countries, or being on standby during these hours can blur this balance. Also being a truly global business means I don't get to meet a lot of my team in person, so being an extrovert like myself, I would rather want to meet up for coffees with colleagues.

Pros

The company has a diverse range of people from operations specialists to entrepreneurs, who have owned their own businesses. Management is very involved and act as mentors. I’d describe the team as unique and knowledgeable with a broad skillset. You learn so much from working with them. The work is exciting and meaningful. Being employed by a B Corp gives confidence that the work you are doing is making a difference. Being a global team, there is also a lot of workplace flexibility which is great. The team practices rigorous transparency and you are trusted to hit your goals on time, all while encouraging flexibility in how you work. There is a strong focus on training with sessions scheduled quarterly, focusing on interesting topics such as AI/ML and cybersecurity, as well as courses to support the area of the business you work in.

Cons

Even through there is great transparency, it sometimes may seem as you’re not always up to date with the progress of the different parts of the business, largely due to the fast paced, agile nature of the business. Given the nature of the business, at times you can be stretched too thin, especially when projects have similar completion timelines.
