No longer the company it once was - Anonymous employee Bulletproof Networks Employee Review

Salaries are reasonable, some good, dedicated people working at the operational level to keep the ship afloat and the office is nice.

The influx of global competitors and more agile local competition as well as their market listing in 2014 has not been kind to Bulletproof. As other reviews have suggested the business has become something of a rudderless ship commercially essentially acting a reseller of others repackaged services and without the technical resources or any management desire to invest in shaping it's own place in a crowded market has really become a margin player in the local market. For example published financials show the companies sales almost doubled between FY15 & 16 however their profit halved during the same period, customer renewals are touted as major wins but nobody wants to talk about the discounting required to win the business or the customer complaints or the fact that ALL of the sales growth has been in the SME space rather than enterprise where Bulletproof can't compete. Staff wise the past 12 months has seen a string high profile departures as key sales, technical staff and management have left the business for more stable environments the latest being the CFO who resigned just before Christmas and the way things seem to be headed i don't see Bulletproof surviving beyond the next couple of years.

Initially great future, amazing structure and learning envrionment

When i started, my individual team was very motivated, structured and we completed all tasks within a generally standard time frame, all worked well and i was steadily improving my skills and maturity at work. Come the new financial year, the company decided to do a bunch of "Economically benificial restructures" aka redundancies due to the mis-management of senior management. This resulted in multiple people being made redundant or leaving in suit. These people in particular were both loyal and a cornerstone of the Bulletproof brand. These people made the company what it was and kept all the bolts together with new projects and ideas. Around this time, new management was brought in, employees who ironically enough did NOT fit the bulletproof motto. Incorrect staffing choices. Destroying the name of the company. Around this time i had begun to take on more work then i could and in essence i was a scapegoat for alot of issues. I decided to leave as the job was overworked and underappreciated. I have alot of good memories with alot of staff there which i cherish. It's a shame it has come to this.
