Pros

60% off books and study leave

Cons

-Very backwards and complete 180 compared to our US counterparts -Stale and lifeless environment - you can hear someone sneeze from the other side of the building - We are quite spread out in the office so it appears really lifeless -Lack of vision from CEO and leadership team - very out of touch and dont focus on the reader. -Highly political and if you're not located in Sydney then you'll have a hard time in swaying stakeholders -High turn over, well over 40 people have left this year alone and no one bats an eye -Promotions tend to go to those with lack of management skills as well as technical skills ...they're not even qualified for their roles yet they get promoted into them
