Pros

Great people at the working level, Good office location

Cons

What was a culture of care and compassion quickly turned around the second the finances were down. I've watched in 2025, a good friend of mine depart the business after a conflict with his manager, redundancies of 10 very good people and the departure of almost every asset manager in the business. I should mention all the above is no fault of the employees, the UK head office has no idea what it takes to operate in Australia, and the executives are just yes men who don't know better. What was a culture of celebrating group success became a blame game, the second financial targets were not met.

Aweful Culture & Bad leadership

Pros

Intiatilly started off a great place to work with genuine care in its culture. 5 weeks leave is also pretty sweet

Cons

Where do i start, this place has gone downhill significantly since I joined. The culture of care is gone, I've seen about 6 people in the business not make probation, instead of supporting them in their deficiencies the business eliminates them. I've also watched a good friend of mine who is a brilliant engineer get managed out by a manager who I would classify as a bully. I've watched two rounds of redundancies happen and some fantastic talent depart because of mismanagement. My advice do not work here and if you do either get out. The grass is greener elsewhere.

Left to Sink in a Failing System

Pros

Some brilliant individuals within the company.

Cons

The workplace lacks collaboration, with little to no training or onboarding support. There’s an unspoken expectation that new employees should already know everything, which creates a high-pressure and isolating environment. Internal systems and tools are consistently faulting and difficult to understand, and support from within the organisation is minimal. It’s certainly a sink-or-swim culture, where you’re left to figure things out entirely on your own. Recent redundancies have only made things worse, with decisions appearing reactive and poorly thought through, adding to the instability and low morale.
