Gen-i Australasia Reviews

I have been working at Gen-i Australasia full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Pretty good company to work for, good perks and overtime pay.

Generally managers treat you well, but it obviously comes down to the individual.
Very good at being flexible with work hours.

Cons – Constantly in a state of restructuring so job security is not very good. The new CEO has slashed a lot of benefits and generally the feeling around is that this isn't a great place to work anymore.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Gen-i Australasia

Pros – interesting role with good people around to work with and learn from

Cons – over busy, 'transformation' has lightened the personal numbers but customers expect more these days from the remaining team

Advice to Senior Management – work out where the next 10 years revenue is coming from, then dedicate staff and time on working out how that's going to be delivered to - and don't just think staff will stay to do more for the same remuneration - there are more options available now than ever before and as niche specialities increase we will not always have the best people internally

Pros – The biggest game in town

Cons – Very little consideration for people that matter

Advice to Senior Management – Start thinking about the people who make the business what it is, use people who have the experience and have succeeded in other places doing the same thing instead of re-inventing the wheel.

I have been working at Gen-i Australasia

Pros – There are some great emmployees at Gen-i, who make it at least worthwhile to turn up every day. The expectations in terms of performace are quite light so there work is generally easy.

Cons – Management do not understand this market, service offerings are disjointyed and it is dificult to find who we are, what we sall and what benefits we can bring to our customers. The talk is big but theaction and application are abysmal. ALl talk and no action.

Advice to Senior Management – Get your hands dirty.. Understand that you are dealing with some experienced people who actually talk to each other. and the decisions you make, or do not make. It is nonsensical to to deliver one message to an employer, and a completely differnt message to another, we talk, we know when you are not telling the truth.
