Pros
The majority of the flexible working arrangements were left in place. If you're in Australia, you will get a redundancy if you wait around long enough.
Cons
CI&T acquired the <100 staff company I worked for in 2022. It was clear from the very beginning the company did not have the resources or capability to integrate ours and several other business's that were acquired. Everything to do with the integration was done inefficiently and took the back office team in Australia loads of time to decipher what was actually required from head office. There was promise of opportunities for our team due to the acquisition - none of which eventuated. Due to the way the deal was structured, pre-existing key management personal had no incentive to perform, and left within 18 months of the acquisition. There was never a coherent or consistent strategy in place to keep the team in Australia focused and engaged. Three years post acquisition and the team in Australia is down to less than 20, the majority of departures are redundancies.
