Pros

Could be good experience for the right candidate, depending on your level and which department you join.

Cons

Stuffy culture, hierarchical in practice. No help given for managers who clearly cannot manage several staff in different locations (usually through no fault of their own). Stressful for managers who need more staff in their departments, to find they need to manage them remotely. Some staff members away from HQ in Sydney are consistently on calls outside their time zones, with last minute meeting cancellations at 6am or 7am happening regularly. No consequences for managers who are arrogant and ego-driven towards subordinates, and create a toxic working environment (via calls, emails, senior managers talking about the other person(s) negatively to other members of the team/staff). Zero consequences when managers are consistently toxic towards several members of the same department. Despite escalation from several members of staff. Especially terrible to see a manager set many subordinates up for failure, using a geographically split team to create a culture of fear/anxiety. Amazing that HR don't seem to want to step in, or even engage in a feedback process. However, they are executing what senior management wants, I guess. Senior leadership are fully informed of said toxic behaviour, and choose to turn a blind eye. If you work here, you have to accept this. If you're outside the Sydney HQ, expect lack of information flow / communication. Decisions may be made without your input before you wake up in the morning. In my opinion, there is a blame culture and not enough help given to those in satellite offices, unless you really shout.

Pros

Culture and Work: The environment is culturally diverse, which brings a great variety of perspectives to the team. There is no shortage of exciting, high-impact technical work to dive into. Work-Life Balance: Despite the fast pace and challenging projects, the company maintains a healthy work-life balance and respects personal time. Benefits: The company provides a strong benefits package, including comprehensive health insurance and helpful employee assistance programs. Professional Growth: There is a genuine investment in employee development. Management is supportive of learning and often sponsors professional coursed or industry conferences.

Cons

Currently, there is a lack of permanent remote work options for employees based in India. In the current tech landscape, adopting a more flexible "work from anywhere" policy would be a significant advantage for long-term retention and attracting top talent.
