A Bane To Your Mental Health

Pros

Some great people in HQ. Great knowledge of the business and knows what they are doing. Still a great technology but seems to be lagging behind its competitors.

Cons

Significant culture shift from two years ago, especially in Australia. The MD is a horrible person who looks at people as objects - readily thrown away if she thinks they do not contribute. Not a collaborative environment and everyone is just too scared to say anything.

Pros

Very little in the way of pro's, there are some kindhearted individuals who are trodden on

Cons

Senior leadership have no direction and are making terrible decisions for the company and the staff Backstabbing environment No training of products and services Staff not only undervalued but told they are unable to do the job they have been doing for many years, and doing well Headcount has been slashed, as the business has been in free fall to the competition Terrible micro management, unable to enable and support staff to deliver outcomes Some staff are toxic to others and incapable of holding a conversation with a customer

Pros

Nothing comes to mind except the friendly peers and relatively good pay/work life balance

Cons

Many ! very political environment that has halted the development.progress of the company. Lot of cut throats running wild in side the offices ready to back stab at any chance they get. No oppertunity to carrier growth. zero recognition for the hard work you put in and manger blocks you from the lime light and gets it to himself. No useful training at all, training done by people without sufficient knowledge where experts are grumpy and try to keep knowledge to themselves. you have to suck up to managers to get somewhere . to save your position
