Balancing the Scale of Positives and Room for Growth
Pros
Excellent work-life balance with a "work from anywhere" culture, as long as you deliver results. Strong focus on core values: integrity, quality, humility, innovation, service, and sustainability. All OKRs and benchmarking are built around these. Generous benefits package that really takes care of employees, like unlimited leave. Office perks like snacks, unlimited coffee, games consoles, end-of-trip facilities, filtered water, soft drinks and more. Once had amazing social events and culture that made work more enjoyable. Opportunities for professional growth and networking. Senior management is supportive and genuinely cares about employee well-being. Collaborative work environment, particularly when senior management is involved. Heaps of clever and skilled individuals contribute to the company's success. Diverse Environment: A mix of ages, nationalities, and values makes for an interesting work culture. Salary packaging for novated leases and employee assistance programmes have been long-standing perks.
Cons
The team is a mix of long-term employees and new hires, leading to a variety of opinions on management and company direction. Leadership styles and personalities can be quite different depending on the region. The sales department operates in a silo and lacks the drive for new business. There's an opportunity for mid-management to further enhance their interpersonal skills. HR's professionalism could be better; they could use some training on social etiquette. Transparency can be hit or miss. The promotion of individuals who engage in questionable behaviour was a point of concern.
