Vantaggi
When I started working at Isentia in 2018 I had a full time permanent role on site with other teams and mentors. It would have been nice to have some flexibility but the reality was I had a relatively secure job with daily contact with my team. Now the role is casualised and fully remote ie you are a second-class employee who is meant to operate invisibly and silently in the background, much as they expect the Manila team to do for the Australian business. They made some noises about career development opportunities and also voluntary redundancies while I was there, but neither ever eventuated, which left me and other people with the impression that our managers had no real clue what was going on.
Svantaggi
The culture within Daily Briefings was the worst I've ever experienced. People were standoffish, silent and downright unpleasant to be around. The company as a whole union-busts and brought in Ed Harrison just to dress it up for sale. The entire operation will sink as soon as the new owners realise its investment into (probably bottom tier) AI will never turn it around. It has been on its last legs for the better part of a decade.
