Pros

met some good people and made some great friends - but they have all left to join rival companies

Cons

where do i start: so many of my colleagues are leaving. all of the senior HR staff in Brisbane have left in the last year and not one of the environment leadership team remains. they all give the same reason for their resignation - their manager. yet the senior business leaders do nothing to address the problem except for rewarding the poorly performing managers with promotions and large pay raises. staff retention used to be a metric that we were assessed on but not any more. it clearly helps to have friends in the right places.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
