Pros

Technically interesting place. Getting harder to find this sort of chemical process industry work in Victoria Australia these days

Cons

Satellite of global operation been turned into a fiefdom. Company values paid lip service. The real culture and rules are set by local VP who reacts only to "the optics" for him managing expectations upwards rather than contributions / results of team. High staff churn. Local HR acquiescent to VP so cannot be appealed to.

Pros

Exposure to real enterprise-scale datasets and forecasting models. Supportive cross-functional teams that encourage learning and ownership. Opportunities to work directly on high-impact business problems. Strong platform exposure (Azure, Power BI, Databricks) that builds technical depth.

Cons

Workload can be fast-paced — but this has strengthened my ability to prioritize and deliver under pressure. Processes are still evolving — giving me space to contribute improvements and drive structure. Limited formal hierarchy — which has helped me become more self-driven and independent. Some projects require navigating ambiguity — a great opportunity to build problem-solving confidence
