Pros

Training and induction process into the role was good. Working with the US team from time-time was great and generally nice people in the business who work very hard for tech/education, things they are very passionate about.

Cons

I worked at INS a few years ago under a manager that was self indulgent and willing to slice a portion of sales territory away from under his employees (in AUS) to favor another manager. This affected many of the education reps and I believe it still does. In addition, let's just say the comment another person left in one of these reviews below about the manager that did not want to hire someone back because she just came off maternity leave, relates to me. This was after I sacrificed much of my days/nights weekends travelling for this job whilst previously also balancing being a working mother. Amazingly, I still balance work life with 2 kids now, who would have known.

Pros

Very nice co-workers Benefits are at least average Work life balance is ok, flexible time off and decent holidays Don’t have to work that hard, great place to retire Focused on AI though the foundations for it aren’t there - as if we’re trying to check the box for a board

Cons

Pretty much a start up with terrible systems and processes Little to no investment in any supporting functions rooted in the TB days of prioritizing margin Cross-functional work is disorganized with horrible change management Complacency across the board. Seems like the old people are just waiting for their equity to vest, doing the absolute bare minimum Clearly an edtech company which feels a lot like what the government must be like Atrocious decision making Senior leaders care more about politics and their own egos than making the company better. Like everyone has an agenda I cannot imagine worse systems setup or data
