A Company in Transition

Pros

Supportive colleagues and approachable team managers make the project delivery easier. Consultants have access to Esri's latest technologies, training, and certification opportunities, providing a solid environment for professional development.

Cons

The company's focus has shifted towards managed services and expansion, resulting in less emphasis on its GIS consulting strengths in the Australian market. This has coincided with the loss of experienced GIS professionals and fewer opportunities to work on cutting-edge GIS projects. Consultants often work independently on client projects, which can make it difficult to develop a sense of connection with the broader organisation. Employees may feel valued primarily for billable work rather than as contributors or as a person.

Salary is not great, the office feels quite outdated, their policies are not as progressive as many other similar companies, and benefits non-existent.
