Pros
- You'll get to work with some really down-to-earth people - Most people are super approachable - 2 days in the office, 3 days at home (so good) - Excellent social culture - Amazing grad program - If you're a junior or a mid, this would be a great place to learn alot (tech stacks, process, bouncing ideas off talented engineers). - All the AI tools you could want
Cons
- Ever feel like you spend more time talking about what you're going to do and build than actually doing the thing? - Aging tech stack in some areas, and it's going to be hard to find someone who has the time or knowledge, but don't worry, there will be 5 approvals and/or hoops to jump through to make any changes. - Alot of pressure from non-tech people to get stuff done, but never actually deciding what they want to build - Innovation, this company hasn't really heard of it, maybe they will get lucky with another hackathon. Or maybe the board will brain fart another idea out in the process of wanting the company to be sold. - AI, what's great is you'll have access to any tool you want, what's bad is the general motto and product approach to AI is "If we keep talking about it, hopefully somehow it'll make it in the product" No clear direction again, just alot of talk. - Benefits and leave, becoming really dated compared to Xero or any modern tech company (just look at the parental leave length) - Because of the whole wanting to be sold, (google myob sale in the AFR), there's no longer a process for any internal promotions currently; it's one of those wait for a position to become available deals, and even then, there are hiring freezes. We've seen a few talented engineers leave. - Lots of middle management leaving and shuffling, not sure what's happening here, but it's become way too common. It seems like there's alot of pressure from the SLT.
