Vantaggi
There are still a few good people in NZ to work with after the restructure but this company is not a long term prospect.
Svantaggi
Nothing about this company is what is seems. Go further than the glossy publications and website. Look for real customers and case studies that demonstrate success. You will find almost none. All the positive reviews on here come from the company's marketing. Every negative HR principle you can apply to management, is demonstrated on a daily basis at Wynyard. This includes nepotism, cronyism, favouritism, and extensive bullying. Most is centrally located to a few key people but it is far reaching. There is a core of people who emerged, over promoted in previous companies, when Wynyard combined in two companies to invent itself into a third. These people are in high consequence leadership positions, performing no leadership or support at all. No strategic direction. No consultation. No collaboration. All 'head in the sand' about the problems with the software and the high costs of implementing it even though they are marketed as COTS. If you are interested in a role in a technical or implementation team - don't do it. You will be expected to work nights, weekends, public holidays, like I do. The favouritism means only certain people get recognised for their work, usually those in the Middle East not New Zealand. As far as innovation, the only development ideas fostered and given credit are those that come directly from a few key people. People who were there from the start, not necessarily those with the best new ideas. Preference is given to those who don't rock the boat. Innovation does not flourish when ego dominates design and good ideas embarrass the people who didn't think of them! The cyber direction is another chaotic, knee-jerk strategy to find something easier to sell but with the same issues. It is a high risk endeavour and again, do your homework. Where has it really sold? How is it performing? Where are happy customers? Look beyond the hype.
