Vantaggi
Interesting problem space. Colleagues are some of the most talented and amazing people. Work has high impact on customers.
Svantaggi
Culture was not great to begin with and is getting worse. Little has been done to address low eNPS scores. The hours are long, the workloads are ridiculous. It’s common for people to work late nights, on weekends, and even during sick days and annual leave. Turnover rates are very high but they never replace the people who leave. Business side get treated badly compared to tech side. You only get treated well if you are an ex-consultant from a top tier firm. Restructures are used as a guise to increase workload and responsibilities without an increase in compensation. They change your position and assign you new responsibilities without consulting you. They don’t care about your professional development or your career goals. Managers and senior leadership have no experience managing people. There is no real leadership within AU. Overseas leaders dictate AU strategy without proper knowledge of the market and won’t listen to local advice due “lack of talent in AU”. They took away all the benefits to be “more in line with the market”. No more wfh allowance, no social spending budget on your card. You have to sell an arm and a leg to get any kind of raise and the pay is already below market rate. CEO likes to be all up in everyone’s business. Lack of clarity around priorities. Work is unstructured and chaotic. Too many hurdles to get the simplest things approved.
