Pros

Some good colleagues Allows remote work

Cons

Poor management from the very top. No direction and no long term plans. Exec management only thinks about themselves/ get promoted every year to some ridiculous titles. You have to be chummy with CEO or be related to him otherwise they make your life horrible. Badly managed company, bad vibes, many good employees have since left the company. There is no diversity despite what they preach. The leadership does not walk the talk.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. There is typically flexibility.

Cons

Cogstate will terminate people who are performing very well, with no notice. They are known for doing this. Do not take a job here unless you are prepared to be let go without cause or warning, regardless of your performance. Despite their messaging, they do not have much regard for their employees. They do not consider who will pick up that person's work within their department when they are let go. Morale is low. People do not feel secure in their jobs, with good reason.
