Pros

- Free breakfasts - Spin the wheel (you're guaranteed to win $100 voucher per spin, up to $1,000). - Free alcohol in the fridge, alongside canned drinks, lots of soda waters - In-house barista free of charge, up until 4pm - Above average market pay - Some departments now can work from home 1 day a week when it used to be fully 5 days in office - Some of the best software tools you can use in the market and install quite freely - Less administrative burden when trying to install software, and less admin work overall - Generally very good work life balance, not expected to work past 5:30pm for almost all departments - Quite relaxed with expenses policy - If you have a good idea and if most people are on board with it, it's quite easy for you to implement it - Annual leave and personal leave balances combined for 30 days - when you leave the company you can cash them out.

Cons

- Learning and Development kind of lacking, may depend on department but it's found that managers in place generally are good at their own jobs as individual contributors but may not be management material - Individuals who were great contributors at the startup space may not be the best people to transition into corporate environments, especially when you need to manage teams of people who need to finish work by 530pm. - Sometimes each teams kind of have cliquey vibes, also there's lack of cammaderie in a lot of teams. - A lot of departments still need to work from office 5 days a week - Heard many stories of individuals being fired right before 6 months probation - goes to show the hiring processes need to better weed out people or train them better to absorb into the culture. - The receptionists had changed multiple times so may have been potential firings - Overspending in the company is quite big and sometimes go out of control - Company is expanding too fast, but not making money (losing money in some instances). - Promotions and career development is not very clear in the company. They would have more potential if there were clear cut pathways for promotion.

Pros

The pay is genuinely absurd for Australia. We're talking US market rates, not "competitive for Melbourne" rates. There's a big difference and once you've experienced it you can't really go back. I've got mates at the big banks and consulting firms and the gap is wild. Beyond that the work is actually good. You're not babysitting legacy systems or sitting in planning ceremonies all day. There are real problems to solve and you get actual ownership over them. Nobody is micromanaging you, they just expect you to deliver and if you do, you get more responsibility pretty quickly. The people are good too. Everyone is switched on and actually wants to be there. That sounds obvious but it makes a huge difference day to day. No one is phoning it in.

Cons

It's not a relaxed environment. If you want to leave at 5 every day and fully switch off, this probably isn't your spot. The pace is high and there's always more to do. Personally that suits me but worth knowing.
