Pros

- Interesting concept for a software platform, and genuinely useful - Early customers are very big with potential for growth - Adelaide based, very rare for a company like this

Cons

- Management not in touch with their staff, and most teams are leaderless and report directly to their C suite - Multiple teams working on the same, and conflicting pieces of work. Serious duplication of efforts and harmfully competitive environment between teams - Significant brain drain caused by high staff turnover, most senior staff are only staying until their options are vested - Very poor morale, constant crunch for 3+ years

Pros

Some of the individual contributors on the support team are genuinely helpful hardworking and committed to doing right by customers there are people here who care about solving problems and supporting each other despite the limited direction from above.

Cons

The support organization suffers from poor leadership inconsistent priorities and lack of operational maturity Frontline agents are expected to absorb the consequences of unclear processes shifting expectations and decisions made by people who seem disconnected from the actual day-to-day support workload. There is recurring pattern where feedback from agents does not appear to meaningfully influence how support is run instead of building trust creating clear escalation paths and improving internal documentation leadership tends to push pressure downward the result is a team environment where agents are left managing customer frustration without enough authority context or support internally. The biggest issue is not the front line team it is a leadership culture above them. There are blog posts about how bad our leadership was at previous roles that is concerning to say the least. there is a noticeable gap between how support leadership presents the department and how the department actually functions expectations are often communicated vaguely priorities change without explanation and agents are left trying to interpret what good performance even means.
