Pros
- Core team members and some leaders are good people - The product is interesting - You can do work in many areas of the business - Small-ish team means you will be visible
Cons
- Minimal training and support for new staff - Promoting from within is rare and then external hires (even managers) are often unsuitable for the role or don’t stay long after seeing the state of things - Salaries are low to average and some people were actually being paid much less than market value only being corrected under the guise of recent “promotions” (ie. from junior to mid level) - Unsustainable and inconsistent sales practices lead to poor quality despite the supporting teams efforts to correct - Flexible work in Perth actually means you must work in the office unless you have an airtight reason to need flexibility - Team is diverse, but only surface-level and it is not an inclusive space for anyone who doesn’t live or think like leadership - Some senior leaders are actually openly bigoted, conspiracy theorists and more. Anyone who does not agree or ignore these harmful attitudes will not fit in and likely not last long. - The company aggressively pushed for a NASDAQ listing (which it achieved), but abandoned sustainability and is now non-compliant with the stock exchange and also damaged its internal process and culture - Many people have left due to the reasons above and more, and recently the company laid off 15% more staff to even out the poor company performance to “reorganise” - Overall, it’s a company that will promise a lot, highlight crafted values a lot but ultimately likely leave you burned out or otherwise unhealthy
