Terrible Place to Work - Manager CS Energy Limited Employee Review

Slow moving organisation with recognition in the energy sector Plenty of learning opportunities if you enjoy observing organisational behaviour in its natural habitat Cloud-to-on-prem migration is very well supported (and extremely well funded) You will become highly skilled at navigating ambiguity, politics, and “strategic realignment”

Culture is very much top-down, and not in the empowering Agile sense Career progression appears closely correlated with proximity to decision-makers rather than delivery outcomes (a valuable insight for aspiring sociologists) Many experienced staff and top-tier consultants have exited, taking with them strategy, planning capability, and delivery momentum Interesting or innovative initiatives are routinely red-lined unless they align with the approved migration narrative Decision-making can feel pre-determined, with consultation occurring mainly for ceremonial purposes

location in Brisbane was good

Toxic culture Certain ELT member micro managed through fear and being condescending - promoted beyond capability. direct reports are all yes people and play the game, rather than do their job less meetings, more decisions government dept mentality
