The site and some of the offices in Melbourne are old fashioned and a bit shabby. If you are working on international projects youj often have to take calls late at night.

camaraderie amongst colleagues to help one another with lack of good leadership
Cons
flexibility available mainly for managers , micro managing
Advice to Management
Managers never seem to move on, but staff constantly leave. A shame as there is real potential to move this company into the 21 century if you looked after staff more

Pros
The colleagues are amazing, you will meet with and work with great people.
Cons
HR practices and policies are all about the business, not the people. Systems are very old fashioned and frustrating. The culture is going down hill fast, more hierarchy and one way.
Advice to Management
Don’t run to HR all the time, talk to your staff and treat them like people not just a problem to handball to HR where they are treated worse. Try and reward the quiet achiever and not only your friends or the self promoters.
