Pros

You can have a lot of autonomy and get exposed to varied fields of work. The CEO is highly engaged and respected across the business. There are opportunities to work across disciplines with rewarding projects in regions, there are many proud country people working for the business who are awesome to work with.

Cons

Managers are ineffective with pay structures that have no reward system for hard honest workers. You can work hard or not work you get the same treatment. Promotions are based on years working for the company not effective output of an employees.

Pros

+ Incredible potential to deliver great outcomes for the business + Staff who actually do the work are great to collaborate with

Cons

- Managers and General Managers who are hired into roles lack the basic experience and capability to support the organisation to successful outcomes - Prevents innovation by being bogged down in governance - Not a meritocracy - Staff who are unable to deliver on outcomes are kept around to just tick things along ("busyness") - Technology is appalling and led by people well out of their depth and focussed on self interest, not business outcomes - It's not what you know, but who you know, breeding a level of incompetence that is infecting the organisation
