Pros

Dynamic people, good on your CV, challenging roles, fast paced, some teams ok

Cons

Some teams operate in an unsafe mental health environment, churn and burn attitude to staff, chaotic internal processes, CEO protecting toxic managers and executives, have repeatedly paid large sums of hush money to employees who have suffered a psychological injury at work

Pros

Majority of workforce have good intentions: they want to make a tangible difference for community, and work well with others to do so.

Cons

Senior leadership in the Experience Group (TXG) is crippling the organisation: they openly speak ill of ideas and contributions from all across the organisation (including from within their own Group), spend a great deal of time grandstanding around siloed projects that have next-to-no impact measurement, and create an altogether psychologically-unsafe working environment. On multiple occasions, TXG senior leadership has demonstrated that they are incapable of working effectively with anyone they didn't hand-pick for a role, and they will gradually disempower said people and functions over time so as to make costly turnover a necessity.

Internal basket case but many nice colleagues

Pros

Colleagues are mostly extremely friendly and very caring. Office is very comfortable and in a great location. Everyone knows the brand (although not many people know what Beyond Blue actually does in much detail) which helps in finding future jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Beyond Blue is very shiny on the outside but a mess internally. Huge amount of wasted resources and money and very resistant to change. Staff are constantly mysteriously vanishing with one liner emails going out and no explanation. Very hush hush. No surprise morale is pretty bad. I once overheard a conversation where someone in IT was being asked if negative Glassdoor reviews can be challenged or the posters identified. This should tell you all you need to know. Although so much money comes in the books are in the red and there are serious struggles with keeping the organisation relevant. Just explore the website and see how outdated the info is. Where does all the money go? Although most people are very nice, the org does attract quite a few nasties (ambitious career climbers, people in it just for the prestige of the brand name, or who couldn't get a job in private industry). They end up in powerful positions. HR is particularly useless and treats staff like numbers. There's a never ending list of internal training slideshows that must be completed. Quite laughable. Initiatives must clear many layers of approval and often it's a wild goose chase where you end up circling back to yourself. Everyone is accustomed to or complacent with at least some level of confusion. If you have ideas and want to get meaningful things done, this isn't the place for you.
