Pros

Prime location: Office is conveniently located in Sydney CBD, offering easy access to public transport, cafes, and amenities. Flexible work arrangement: Employees benefit from a hybrid schedule with three days of remote work per week, supporting better work-life balance.

Cons

Lack of onboarding support: New joiners often face challenges integrating into the team due to limited knowledge-sharing and minimal documentation, especially with a legacy product developed over a decade ago. No team-building culture: The workplace lacks collaborative activities or initiatives that foster team cohesion, making it difficult to build rapport. Highly siloed environment: Team members operate independently with little cross-functional interaction, which can hinder learning and collaboration. Inconsistent interpersonal dynamics: Senior staff vary widely in communication style and mood, requiring constant adaptation from newer employees to navigate daily interactions.

Pros

Most colleagues are well intentioned, but stretched beyond the max.

Cons

After filing for FMLA, my “leader” encouraged me not to involve HR in the future. The whole point of FMLA is job protection. Him making this suggestion, at best, seems highly unethical and potentially illegal. Some leaders are good with people. Others are more techno sound. The ones that can effectively do both are let go. It makes no sense and the company offers little transparency.
