Pros

Agile-native culture with genuine feature ownership end-to-end. Colleagues are generally smart and well-intentioned, and the work-life balance is noticeably better than the Big 4. Good exposure to cloud-native patterns, API design, and continuous delivery practices.

Cons

Tech investment is visibly lower than peers — you’ll feel the gap if you’ve come from Macquarie, Westpac, or CBA. Career progression for senior technologists is limited; the Chapter Lead structure can create bottlenecks where architectural decisions get slowed or diluted. Role boundaries between Solution Design and engineering can blur. Compensation is competitive but not market-leading for the level of complexity expected.
