Pros

The people you work with on a day to day basis are typically nice and down to earth Franklin shows some promise for a culture change but has a very, very long way to go. Decent diversity amongst peers. Dogs allowed in office.

Cons

Toxic environment with a "drink the kool-aid mentality". High levels of burn out. No work-life balance, weekdays are expected to be devoted to the company. Frequent overtime is an expectation and is not properly compensated. You won't even get a thank you. Anyone above a line manager is usually quite arrogant and has little regard for lower level employees. As the company grows as does the egos of upper management/the board. Inconsistent and incompetent management with expectations constantly changing. Management are keen to blame the people who actually do the work rather than take accountability or address issues within the workflow. Seems to be a pattern of every three to six months the decent workers leave in mass. Very high staff turnover. Six months is considered long term employment. Parking is awful.

Pros

After many, many years with the business, it's been an incredible journey - and this next chapter of Oritain, for me, is the most exciting yet. Oritain offers the opportunity to work with some incredible minds, in a highly diverse, fast-paced and exciting environment. Very peronsable and approachable executive team, humble, low ego, accountable, and always on hand to support. Company has continued to support my career progression and can attest to that given my time in the business. Cliché to say but really is a company that stands behind it's values and tries to live them top-to-bottom - even during periods of transition that I've seen the company go through, but will be the first to recognise when we've fallen short. Love our broader teams, the cross-collaboration within the company, and of course, the opportunities it's provided me to travel and expand my horizons.

Cons

Can be a demanding pace at times as we continue to build out sections of the business, formalise some of our processes, and continue to grow at a rapid pace, but everyone is on hand to roll up their sleeves and support.

Pros

Some talented and hardworking colleagues operating in an interesting industry that is important and would have an impact if executed correctly. However, the gap between how the company's capabilities and progress are presented raised concerns about transparency.

Cons

Senior and middle leadership are disconnected from day-to-day realities and fail to address recurring operational issues. Ineffective communications and inconsistent decision-making with feedback rarely acted upon, leaving employees feeling unheard and disengaged. Advancement and recognition are influenced more by personal relationships than by performance, with clear signs of favoritism.
