Pros

You might have a good day to day experience if you're in the right team.

Cons

They don't care about their people and the leaders only listen to their mates. These mates have no idea what they are doing and make bad decisions constantly which impacts the rest of the business. Petty politics. Wasting money like crazy while they neglect their core business.

Pros

There are some genuinely lovely and caring people there. Moves at a glacial pace so as long as you go with the flow and don't try to change anything - it can be a stress free environment. The office space is nice. A decent place for junior roles with opportunity to develop your career.

Cons

Key leaders have no idea how to run business functions or manage people. Senior management are their friends. There is a distinct lack of diversity of gender across levels of seniority. Avoid if you're looking for a senior role and bring experience - you'll be squeezed out of the room by all the hubris. Also, other reviews are questionable - check out the dates. Why suddenly 2-3 positive on the same day?

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is nice to hear you worked with some friendly team mates! It was disappointing to read that your experience wasn't matched in some areas like clarity of direction. Whilst we know we will never be a perfect workplace for everybody, as a growing company we are always looking for ways we can improve and we thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for your contributions during the time you worked with us.
