Channel Nine Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Channel Nine full-time for more than a year

Pros – The company has a great strategy and are willing to adapt and change with the market and never rest of their laurels.

Cons – The company has undergone quite a few company restructures in the past 2 years and it is hard to keep up with the changes and who looks after what.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop with the amount of company restructures and team changes for a while so the staff can get used to the structure. Also there are two many levels of management.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Channel Nine full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – convenient city location + bycicle lockup + showers
only exceptional work will be rewarded, but that will be rewarded relatively generously
those who just 'get the job done' get on a performance management program = eveveryone has to work hard

Cons – not the lack, but the utter non-existence of training
it's a 50-50% JV between Microsoft and Nine, and as a result, it's neither here nor there
young company, but it thinks it's cooler than it is
huge turnover
it's a relatively small group which means that there are very few career opportunities

Advice to Senior Management – training... not just for the executives. There should be something every couple of months, even if it's half day on a Friday afternoon.

Former Employee – worked at Channel Nine

Pros – Workload was reasonable (for internet companies which tend to require a heavy load). Beautiful offices in downtown Sydney.

Cons – Some staff members can be a bit immature and think a bit highly of themselves when they are actually quite green (Oh, aren't we the coolest....we work in new media"). Desk seating is totally open plan -- not even cubicle walls to provide the slightest privacy. I like open plan but having no dividers is really too open for me.

Advice to Senior Management – Need a clear plan for the year clearly communicated to everyone...it doesn't always trickle down through all managers. But mainly congrats on having a great service to work on and treating staff fairly.
