Pros

Nice offices. Working in the project management group , I have met some great cross functional teams that are willing to work with you even though their superiors are against it.

Cons

For a small company - the politics and hierarchy is unbelievable. You will be told that only senior management can speak to senior management and what you say carries no weight even though they know you are right. If you must join, avoid Technology and Procurement at all cost. Tech is plagued with politics and visions of grandeur by middle management. Senior management will turn a blind eye to bullying and at times encourage it themselves. Open office belittlement and threats are a common theme. Procurement's biggest issue is their management team. The guys and girls at the coal face are fantastic to work with but they are burdened by incompetent leaders. If you want to meet a group managers who have been promoted beyond their capability and walk around all day spewing corporate nonsense from a textbook - feel free to join the team. Also expect no support as they are happy to throw their people in front of a train at the drop of a hat

Pros

You will get opportunities do learn and try new things

Cons

Do not invest in employees at all. I have been here 2+ years have not seen anyone ever get promoted. Never was invested in as an employee at all. Was never sent to any trainings, conferences, work trips, travel, no continual education, etc. They are so cheap. Only will develop senior employees, good luck growing your career and developing if you're below that. Business is in a constant state of appeasing stakeholders and Australia, never based in reality. Constant promises of "strategy" but no action. Leadership has no real idea of what goes on, honestly don't think they care, since their job is basically making up their own narrative.
