The CMO...

Pros

Fantastic location. Close to everything. Very Accessible.

Cons

Instead of addressing the poor internal communication within the company, the founders gutted the marketing team and replaced the director with Stalin, the Great Terror. Driven by grandiose fantasies about his accomplishments, the new CMO goes above and beyond to demean his "inferiors". He is inconsiderate of his staff's situation and struggles and regularly uses negative words and profanity to put his staff down. This person is a name-dropper who manages to make the conversation about himself every single time and loses his cool if you do not give him attention. He never has his own opinion and just regurgitates information he sees on twitter at meetings and refuses to listen to new ideas. He is a human retweet who can't elaborate or explain his own ideas. He hates being questioned especially, when asked by someone who he feels is "beneath" him. This is not someone people should learn from. He looks down on people and embarrasses his staff in front of other teams. If you look at his work history, it's obvious he's jumping from one job to another for a reason. He mimics and copies everything he sees online - from Xero to Stripe. He needs to come up with new ideas that actually work and is customised for the company. Besides the lack of diversity and other issues within the company, marketing takes the cake. It's a gravity-well, made of blood, sweat and tears, that will drain every energy you have in your body. People are leaving to get their mental health in check even without a new job to go. Staff are willing to be unemployed during a pandemic rather than stay in a toxic environment.

Pros

- Flexible working arrangements - Offices are pretty nice in terms of aesthetics and design, although not that they're ever used much - Good work/life balance if you only work from home. Although the time you're working you're usually at your limits.

Cons

- No career progression in tech unless you've worked at AMP before (ex workplace of the CTO and technical directors) - Average Salary - Everyone does the bare minimum as the company barely has a working product but is focused on acquiring new companies. - Staff members who've been there for years are just simple "comfortable", and nothing really gets done. - Scopes of projects change every 3 weeks, so a 3-month project will likely take a year to complete - All interesting work is outsourced to contractors - Hires/promotions based on your connection with higher management, which in turn only hire people they know, so you're likely never getting promoted. - FT team is mostly responsible for not letting the boat sink - You'll likely be working out of normal business hours to accommodate for the business's global presence, where all staff are expected to attend these out-of-hours standups. - Company is without a doubt heading for bankruptcy, still yet to turn a profit. Executives draining money from the company.

Pros

There are none left -- there was once the potential to do interesting work with great people, but those people have all gone and it's impossible to do anything in the chaos that remains.

Cons

They have lost all their engineering talent over the past two years - most of whom saw the writing on the wall and left in disgust before the recent layoffs - leaving them floundering and unable to deliver anything. Their product is mediocre and they have blown the cash and lost the engineers they could have used to develop the next version. Their platform is burning due to incompetence at every level of management, lurching from one bad engineering decision to another. Their response is to spend money putting their name on a neon sign and the side of some car driver's helmet. Spending is way out of control -- extravagant offices in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney that no-one asked for an no-one wants to work in. Vanity sponsorships. Jetsetting by senior executives. Outrageous salaries for senior management. The recent layoffs were a surprise to no-one who has witnessed the profligate spending, inexplicable hires, and head scratching acquisitions. Top level management has been stacked with cronies of the new CTO and bullying and intimidation is rife. The way they are going they will be out of cash and in receivership by the end of the year.
